African Union accuses Israeli occupation of mass killing of Palestinians

ADDIS ABABA, March 02 (YPA) – The Chairman of the African Union Commission, Moussa Faki Mahamat, accused on Saturday the Israeli occupation entity of “mass murder of Palestinians” after the death of more than 110 in the flour massacre in northern Gaza and called for an international investigation.

The union said in a statement dated Friday and published on Saturday on the “X” platform, “Muhammad strongly condemns an attack launched by Israeli forces that led to the death and injury of more than 100 Palestinians searching for life-saving humanitarian aid.”

The statement added: “Mohamed calls for an international investigation to hold the perpetrators accountable” and urges “an immediate and unconditional ceasefire.”

Israeli forces opened fire while Palestinians were queuing to obtain food supplies on Thursday, in a new massacre that resulted in the death of more than 100 people in Gaza City.

This tragedy came after a World Food Program official warned that “famine is imminent in northern Gaza if nothing changes.”
