South Africa’s Tlaleng Mofokeng, on the other hand, has made sure that Israel’s abuses against the Palestinian people date back long before October 7, because in her opinion “the people have not known a day of peace and justice since 1948.”
The UN rapporteur on the right to health, the South African Tlaleng Mofokengon Monday denounced the “genocide” that Israel is causing in Gaza, a conflict that, in his opinion, “has been a war against access to health care from the beginning.”
“The healthcare system in Gaza has been completely wiped out and the right to health in the strip has been decimated at all levels,” he indicated at a press conference where he recalled that 350 health workers in the strip have been killed and more than 500 injured since October last year.
“The attacks, the intimidation, the murder of my colleagues, the destruction of health facilities and humanitarian organizations continue to reach proportions that we have not yet been able to fully quantify,” the South African doctor said.
Mofokeng added that Israel not only causes direct harm to civilians through bombings, but also through “a deliberate provocation of famine, malnutrition and dehydration“.
The United Nations Special Rapporteur has emphasized that the current conflict is “a genocide on display in real time by its victims,” in light of which the international community must “abandon its positions.” self-imposed passivity strategy“.
“While people are dying, I beg you to do everything possible not to allow this genocide to continue,” stressed the UN expert, who said she felt “is ashamed and truly sorry that the world has failed Palestine.
Mofokeng, on the other hand, has assured that Israel’s abuses against the Palestinian people date back long before October 7, as in his opinion “the population has not enjoyed a day of peace and justice since 1948”.
The Palestinian strip ‘has been a phenomenon for decades a laboratory for surveillance, weapons and demographic control‘, said the South African.
