UN experts demand decisive international action to end bloodshed in Gaza

WORLD, May 30 (YPA) – About 50 UN human rights experts expressed outrage at the Israeli airstrikes on a camp for displaced people in the city of Rafah in southern Gaza, last Sunday night, which claimed the lives of at least 46 people, including 23 women, children, and elderly.

They called Israel’s attack “barbaric” and a “flagrant violation of international law.”

Demanding decisive international action to end the “bloodshed” in Gaza, the experts said in a statement.

“Harrowing images of destruction, displacement and death have emerged from Rafah, including infants torn apart and people burnt alive,” the statement read.

“Reports emerging from the ground indicate that the strikes were indiscriminate and disproportionate, with people trapped inside burning plastic tents, leading to a horrific casualty toll,” they said.

“These barbaric attacks are a flagrant violation of international law.”

Last Sunday evening, 46 Palestinian citizens were killed and dozens were injured, most of them children and women, in Israeli airstrikes targeting tents of displaced people in the Tel al-Sultan area, northwest of Rafah, despite it being among the areas claimed by the occupation to be safe for displacement.
