Almost 180,000 people were driven out of the Gaza Strip only between 15 and 25. UN Human Rights Commissioner Volker Türk considers the approach of Israel in the fight against Hamas as no longer covered by the principle of self-defense, although Israel is bound by the war law.
The mass and multiple displacement of the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip is just as “very doubtful” for Türk that about 80 percent of the territory of the Gaza Strip are now military areas where no people are allowed to stop. “What we have seen in recent months has nothing to do with regard to the fundamental principles of humanity,” said the Austria on Tuesday in the “morning journal” of Orf Radio Ö1. The situation in the Palestinian area is “catastrophic”. “You can no longer find words to describe that,” Türk said.
Pressure on the Israeli government required
Already in the middle of the month Turk had found “ethnic cleansing” by Israel in the Gaza Strip. “It looks like a rise for a permanent population shift in Gaza, who ignored international law and is equivalent to ethnic cleansing,” said the UN’s head office. The Austrian UN diplomat justified this with earlier recent bomb attacks that would have led to further relocation-with the destruction of entire residential areas and with the constant blockage of humanitarian aid by Israel. “We have to stop this madness,” he said.
In the “Morgenjournal” Turk again spoke to exercising the Israeli government for this purpose. Türk emphasized that the blockage of relief supplies that Israel has been moving somewhat in recent days since the beginning of March, but not to the extent that would be needed. According to Ö1, the High Commissioner for the Human Rights of the UN will hit Vienna on Tuesday. Chancellor Christian Stocker (ÖVP) had called the Israeli head of the Benjamin Netanyahu government a few days ago. He made it clear: “International law is clear: Gaza must remain Palestinian, there should be no displacement.”
The Gaza War was caused by the large attack by the militant Palestinian organization Hamas and therefore Allied Fighter on October 7, 2023, in which, according to Israeli information, around 1200 people were killed. 251 people were delayed as hostages in the Gaza strips. Since then, Israel has reached massively militarily in the Gaza Strip in response to the robbery of the Hamas. According to the Ministry of Health Checked by De Hamas, which cannot be controlled independently, around 54,000 people have been killed so far.
Merz: civilian population exaggerated
In the meantime, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has again asked Israel in sharp tones to reduce the last raised military approach in the Gaza Strip. “We are more than worried about the intensification of the military activities of the Israeli army in Gaza, and we are relieved by the fate of the civilian population and the terrible suffering,” said Merz, according to the Reuters news agency, in the Finnish city of Turku on Tuesday.
“The massive military beats of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip have no longer let Logic recognize how they serve the goal to fight terror and free the hostages.” What had happened in recent days: “This no longer seems absolutely necessary to defend Israel’s right to exist and to combat Hamas terrorism”. The civilian population is hit by excess.
In Turku, however, Merz avoided the issue of the consequences. One is in dialogue with the Israeli government. Germany goes for the existence of Israel and demands the release of the Israeli hostages in Hamas’ violence, the CDU chairman said. In the German government, advice is discussed internally about the consequences, he said when he was asked about the end of the weapons that the coalition partner SPD delivered. Decisions that may not be public will be made, he added to the Secret Federal Security Council. This approves the export of weapons. Merz did not want to say whether Germany will follow the demands of some EU governments to suspend the EU Israel Association Agreement.
UN: nearly 180,000 displaced persons in just ten days
According to the United Nations, nearly 180,000 people between 15 and 25 were driven into the Gaza Strip because Israel has sharpened his military offensive in the Palestinian area. The escalating humanitarian crisis is extremely alarming, according to Reuters, it said on Tuesday in a message on the website of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in which CCCM CCCM of the refugee camp is referred.
In total, almost 616,000 people were forced to change their place of residence on March 18 on March 18, many of them several times, a few to ten times. Before that, ie during the fire break, more than half a million people returned to their hometown to rebuild their lives. “This fragile progress is now reversed, because increased military operations are being sold again to families from the fields in which they had recently returned.”
