Press Release
June 27
, 2024265 days of Israeli genocidal war against the Palestinian people.
Imagine you’re a parent in Gaza right now, desperately trying to find your child. If you even attempt to clear what was once your home with your bare hands, you risk your life to missiles, bullets and unexploded bombs. It’s a war to horrify the world to accept the upcoming horror.
The televised war against the Palestinian people should be looked at and analyzed from different angles, it is a war to establish a new economic and political order around the world. Anyone who dares to challenge the new order, relying on democracy, human rights, the United Nations, international law and the endless list of classical tools that have blinded the eyes of southern countries for a long time, will face the fate of the Palestinians.Statistical reports and figures have become horrific day by day, the international community has become more paralyzed, international law is not applied unless there is a Western interest, and the world itself has become darker. It is a world in which southern countries have no future unless they accept being marginalized.Israel has received $6.5 billion in security aid from the United States since October 7, according to a report by The Washington Post.
As of June 24, the death toll in Gaza has surged to 37,718, with an additional 86,377 individuals sustaining injuries. It is worth noting that the majority of the victims are women and children.The death toll from malnutrition and starvation among Palestinian children has risen to 30, with the recent death of another child in the northern Gaza Strip.
Kamal Adwan Hospital confirmed that dozens of children arrive at the hospital daily suffering from malnutrition.In the besieged Gaza strip, more than half a million children have been deprived of education for the past eight months. 39,000 high school students are unable to take their exams.Citing Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner-General every day 10 children who are losing one leg or two legs.Citing Save the Children “Israeli forces have dropped 75,000 tons of explosives – the equivalent of 6 nuclear bombs – on Gaza, turning homes, schools, hospitals and places of worship into rubble. ….
. At least 10,000 people are reported missing under the rubble, presumed dead. Children are reported to make up 43% of total casualties in this devastating war…. As of February, an estimated 17,000 children were unaccompanied and separated from their families. …. Furthermore, the bodies of children have been among those recently found in mass graves with many showing signs of torture.”In its continuous war against the Palestinian people, Israel has continued for several consecutive months to pirate Palestinian tax funds, which deprives the Palestinian government of fulfilling its financial obligations towards its employees and other suppliers, and cripple the entire Palestinian economy.Maryse Guimond, the UN Women Special Representative for Palestine said that entire Palestinian families were killed in the ongoing Israeli war, more than 10,000 women lost their lives and more than 6000 families lost their mothers.
One million women and girls have lost their dignity, their homes, their families, and their memories. Citing Guimond, at one school-turned-shelter there are only 25 toilets for the 14,000 people seeking safety inside the compound and the 59,000 others camping outside.Since the beginning of the ongoing war of genocide against our people in Gaza, the Israeli occupation has imposed a policy of forced disappearance against Gaza detainees.
To this day, it refuses to disclose the identities of the martyrs among the ranks of Gaza detainees and the circumstances of their martyrdom.
Palestinian prisoners and detainees are subjected to the worst types of torture and degradation of dignity, as attested by the testimonies issued by the prisoners who were released or the lawyers who visited them.
We call on the international community and the United Nations to open an impartial international investigation into the crimes and grave violations committed against detainees and prisoners in the occupation prisons and detention camps.
Last week, the Republic of Armenia officially recognized the State of Palestine as an independent and sovereign nation.
We express deep and high appreciation for Armenia’s courageous decision and call for all other countries that have yet to make this decision to do so as a vital and necessary step towards promoting security, peace and stability for all.I thank you.
