The top United Nations human rights official on Friday raised doubts over Israel’s unilateral establishment of “safe zones” in Gaza, saying that nowhere within the territory was safe for civilians.
Israel on Friday announced another six-hour window for civilians to evacuate south from northern Gaza. US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby on Thursday said that Israel would “begin to implement four-hour pauses in areas of northern Gaza each day,” but it was as yet unclear whether that is just a formalization of what the IDF has already been doing, or something new.
Türk said that he believes that the Israeli occupation is at the root of violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
His trip to Amman is part of a five-day visit to the Middle East he started on Tuesday to discuss “Israel’s escalation in Gaza,” his office said in a statement.
Before stopping in Jordan, Türk was in Egypt where he said he visited El-Arish Hospital, one of the hospitals treating seriously wounded Palestinians who were evacuated from Gaza. He talked about seeing many children injured by Israeli bombardment, kids with broken legs and severe burns.
“These were the “lucky” children who suffered terribly but are still alive and receiving proper medical treatment,” he added.
Speaking at the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing earlier this week, T
ürk said that both Israel and Hamas had committed war crimes over the course of the war.
He talked about his UN colleagues in Gaza who have had to flee with their families to find shelter, saying they always “keep their bags close” in case they need to flee again. He recounted their stories of mourning the killings of dozens of their loved ones over the past month.
“The extensive Israeli bombardment of Gaza, including the use of high impact explosive weapons in densely populated areas, razing tens of thousands of buildings to the ground, is clearly having a devastating humanitarian and human rights impact… Israel must immediately end the use of such methods and means of warfare, and the attacks must be investigated,” he stressed.
