  • Lazzarini : In 4 Months, Israel Killed More Children Than Children Killed In Conflicts Globally
    Mar 13, 2024 - IMEMC News
    https://imemc.org/article/lazzarini-in-four-months-israel-killed-more-children-than-child-killed-global

    Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of UNRWA, stated that Israel has killed more Palestinian children in Gaza in just four months than all children killed in wars globally over the last four years.

    Lazzarini stated that the number of Palestinian children killed by Israeli missiles, shells, and bullets in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, exceeds the umber of slain children globally and described what is happening in Gaza as a “war on the children’s childhood and their future.”

    He stated that based on data from the Palestinian Health Ministry and data by the United Nations, the number of slain children in Gaza between October 7, 2023, and February 29, 2024, is four times bigger than the number of children killed in wars globally over the last four years.

    A chart published by Lazzarini revealed that Israel killed +12.300 Palestinian children in Gaza between October 7, 2023, and February 29, 2024, compared to 12.193 children killed globally in 2019-2022.

    He called for stopping the war on Gaza and saving the lives of children amidst the ongoing Israeli onslaught.

    It is worth mentioning that Israel has now killed +31.184, and injured +72.889 Palestinians (%72 of the victims are women and children) in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023.

    • À Gaza, la guerre d’Israël contre les enfants palestiniens
      Rachida El Azzouzi | 13 mars 2024 | Mediapart
      https://www.mediapart.fr/journal/international/130324/gaza-la-guerre-d-israel-contre-les-enfants-palestiniens

      (...) « Cette guerre est une guerre contre les enfants. Une guerre contre leur enfance et leur avenir », a abondé mardi 12 mars Philippe Lazzarini, le commissaire général de l’office onusien pour les réfugiés palestiniens (Unrwa), sur le réseau social X. Il cite une statistique vertigineuse : le nombre d’enfants tués à Gaza depuis le 7 octobre 2023 est plus élevé que le nombre d’enfants tués en quatre ans dans l’ensemble des conflits à travers le monde.

      En cinq mois, plusieurs dizaines de milliers d’enfants ont été tués ou blessés par les bombardements israéliens. Ils constituent, avec les femmes, la majorité des plus de 31 000 morts comptabilisés à ce jour, selon le ministère de la santé du Hamas, soit plus de 13 000 enfants. Un chiffre jugé crédible par les Nations unies mais sous-estimé selon plusieurs organisations humanitaires car il n’intègre pas les milliers de corps ensevelis sous les décombres.

      « Avec 30 000 morts officiels et un nombre par définition inconnu de disparus à Gaza, sans même parler de la mortalité indirecte liée à la malnutrition et aux maladies, les pertes gazaouies en cinq mois sont équivalentes à la mort d’un million de personnes en France », note dans Mediapart l’historien Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau.
      Des souffrances physiques et mentales

      Aux morts s’ajoutent les blessés dont « il faut imaginer les blessures », insiste Guillemette Thomas, coordinatrice médicale pour la Palestine de Médecins sans frontières (MSF). Des blessures graves, des fractures multiples, des brûlures sur une grande partie du corps, des membres arrachés…

      « Imaginez une jambe arrachée quand on n’a pas encore atteint l’âge de la marche », égrène Guillemette Thomas en insistant sur « la souffrance absolue des enfants, premières victimes d’une guerre qui n’est pas la leur ». Ces derniers arrivent « massivement dans des hôpitaux qui manquent de tout, où ils ne peuvent être soignés dans des conditions dignes faute de médicaments, de produits de sédation ».

      Son collègue Léo Cans, chef de mission en Palestine, a raconté à Mediapart l’histoire de Myriam, une enfant de 6 ans amputée de la jambe droite. Le visage à moitié brûlé, elle a perdu son frère, sa sœur, sa mère. Son père est porté disparu. Elle n’a plus que sa tante : « Faute de matériel, on a dû changer son bandage sans anesthésie. Pendant une demi-heure, elle a hurlé de douleur en appelant sa mère qui était morte. Chaque fois qu’une personne entre dans un hôpital, ce n’est jamais une personne seule. C’est une famille entière qui est détruite. » (...)

  • Israeli Army Assassinates Two Palestinians In Hospital In Jenin

    https://imemc.org/article/israeli-army-assassinates-two-palestinians-in-hospital-in-jenin

    On Wednesday dawn, Israeli soldiers assassinated two young Palestinian men in front of the emergency department of the Khalil Suleiman governmental hospital in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank’s northern part.

    Medical sources said the soldiers killed Rabea’ Nawrasi, 19 , and Mahmoud Abu Al-Haija , after firing live rounds at them, and four other Palestinians who suffered moderate-to-severe wounds.

    The killing occurred when an invading Israeli military force advanced towards the Khalil Suleiman hospital, especially the entrance of the Emergency Department, and opened fire at many Palestinians, including the two young men who succumbed to their wounds.

    Medical sources said the soldiers also shot a young man in the left leg, a second young man in the arm, a third in the shoulder, and the fourth in the lower back.

    More than thirty armored military vehicles, including armored bulldozers, invaded Jenin city and the Jenin refugee camp, before destroying streets, infrastructure, and structures, and damaged many parked vehicles, while armed and surveillance drones flew overhead.

    Many Palestinians protested the invasion and the killings while the army continued to destroy infrastructure in Jenin, especially in the Sikka Street area and the Zahra’ neighborhood, in addition to the Jenin refugee camp.

    Palestinian fighters also exchange fire with the invasion forces in Jenin refugee camp, and some surrounding areas.

    On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers killed Zaid Ward Shukri Khalifa, 23 , and the child, Abdullah Ma’moun Hassan Assaf, 16 , near Al-Jib village, northwest of occupied Jerusalem in the West Bank.

    Just hours earlier, an Israeli sharpshooter shot and killed a Palestinian child, Rami Hamdan Al-Halhouli, 13, in the Shu’fat refugee camp, north of occupied Jerusalem.

    ■ Le groupe palestinien Hamas a confirmé mardi 6 février avoir remis sa réponse aux médiateurs égyptiens et qatariens à une proposition de trêve formulée fin janvier à Paris par des responsables américains, qatariens et égyptiens. Selon Le Caire et Doha, cette réponse était « généralement positive ». Israël a confirmé l’avoir reçue et l’étudier.

    ■ Alors que les autorités israéliennes réaffirment leur volonté d’étendre les opérations à Rafah, dans le sud de Gaza, l’ONU a prévenu qu’une invasion terrestre sur place pourrait « constituer un crime de guerre ». À la frontière avec l’Égypte, la ville concentre désormais la moitié de la population palestinienne, venue se réfugier, suivant notamment des instructions israéliennes.

    ■ Alors que la guerre entre mercredi 7 février dans son cinquième mois, Israël a de nouveau bombardé Khan Younès, où selon lui se cachent des responsables du mouvement islamiste palestinien. Selon l’armée israélienne, le chef du Hamas à Gaza est actuellement « en fuite » et se terre « de cachette en cachette ».

    ■ Le secrétaire d’État américain Antony Blinken est arrivé mardi 6 février au soir à Tel-Aviv, dans sa tournée diplomatique dans la région, poursuivant les efforts en vue d’obtenir une trêve humanitaire.

    ■ Au moins 31 des 136 otages israéliens capturés par le Hamas sont morts, selon une évaluation interne menée par l’armée israélienne. Des rapports non confirmés des services de renseignement indiquent qu’au moins 20 autres otages pourraient également être morts.

    ■ Selon le dernier bilan du ministère de la Santé du Hamas, mardi 6 février, 27 585 personnes ont été tuées à Gaza depuis le début de la guerre, le 7 octobre dernier. Les morts sont en majorité des femmes, des adolescents et des enfants. On dénombre 66 978 blessés.

      .

      It’s 07:50 in Palestine and Israel. Here are the latest developments from Israel’s war on Gaza, which enters its 124th day today:

      Israeli fighter jets intensified overnight air strikes in Rafah, a small border town with Egypt sheltering over 1.3 million internally displaced civilians.

      North of Rafah, Israeli forces tightened their siege of Khan Youni’s main hospital, the Nasser Medical Complex, as fighting raged on elsewhere in the city.

      A suspected Israeli air strike in Syria’s Homs late on Tuesday killed a man, a woman and a child, according to a human rights monitor.

      Saudi Arabia rebuffed White House spokesperson John Kirby for saying that a normalisation deal with Israel was separate from a Gaza ceasefire agreement.

      Riyadh insisted “there will be no diplomatic relations with Israel unless an independent Palestinian state is recognised on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, and that the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip stops and all Israeli occupation forces withdraw from the Gaza Strip”.

      On Wednesday, Day 124 of the ongoing Israeli onslaught and genocidal bombings of civilian areas, Israeli missiles and shells killed dozens of Palestinians, including women and children, and injured many more, in several parts of the Gaza Strip.

      The Palestinian Health Ministry said the army “committed 12 massacres against Palestinian families in Gaza over the last 24 hours, killing 107 Palestinians and wounding more than 143.”

      The Israeli bombing targeted many areas in Rafah, in the eastern, southern, and western parts, especially in areas near the perimeter fence where dozens of families fled.

      In the Tal Al-Sultan area in Rafah, the army fired missiles and shells at many homes, killing and wounding several Palestinians, including a journalist from the Abu Ghali family along with his mother and his sister.

      The Qatar-based Al-Jazeera said the Israeli Air Force is conducting extensive aerial strikes, and creating massive fire belts in areas north of Rafah.

      Al-Aqsa Satellite TV said the army is firing dozens of artillery shells, tank shells, and missiles targeting all areas east of Rafah, while Israeli navy ships fired many missiles into Palestinian areas near the border with Egypt.

      Over the past several days, the Israeli army has been threatening to invade Rafah where at least 1.400.000, including those who fled northern and central Gaza, are sheltering in make-shift camps, under the cold, and without basic supplies or any infra-structure. (...)

  • Les arguments en faveur de sanctions sportives à l’encontre d’Israël

    Alors que le nombre de Palestiniens tués par les bombes israéliennes à Gaza ne cesse d’augmenter et que des rapports font état de l’apparition de « poches de famine » dans le territoire, les Palestiniens semblent avoir peu de moyens de se défendre. L’un d’entre eux pourrait être le sport, qui unit le monde entier.

    À la veille du Nouvel An, la Fédération jordanienne de football (JFA) a publié une déclaration appelant la communauté sportive mondiale à prendre « des mesures décisives pour mettre fin à l’agression contre les Palestiniens à Gaza et dans les territoires occupés ».

    La déclaration appelle à des sanctions sévères à l’encontre des associations sportives israéliennes afin de les isoler du sport international. Il s’agirait notamment d’interdire aux équipes, clubs, joueurs et représentants israéliens de participer aux compétitions internationales « jusqu’à ce que l’État occupant se conforme aux exigences internationales relativement au cessez-le-feu ».

    « Le mépris flagrant des lois morales et humanitaires a transformé les installations de football à Gaza en lieux de danger, d’humiliation et d’agression pour des civils et des enfants innocents, les détournant ainsi de leur vocation d’espaces de joie et d’espoir », peut-on lire dans la déclaration. « Le silence dans ces circonstances critiques peut être perçu comme une approbation implicite des pratiques illégales de l’occupation, impliquant potentiellement certaines parties dans ces atrocités graves. »

    La déclaration de la JFA intervient quelques jours après la diffusion d’images troublantes montrant les troupes israéliennes transformant le stade de Yarmouk – l’une des plus anciennes installations sportives de Palestine – en un camp d’internement de fortune pour les détenus palestiniens. Des dizaines d’hommes, de femmes et d’enfants ont été rassemblés, déshabillés jusqu’à leurs sous-vêtements et ont eu les yeux bandés tandis que des soldats armés et des chars encerclaient le terrain.

Il est le gérant d’un hôtel à Naplouse et hier, il a suivi de loin l’opération de l’armée israélienne dans le camp de réfugiés de Balata, le plus grand de la ville. « Les israéliens ont poursuivi des combattants palestiniens. Un missile a touché la voiture qu’ils conduisaient. Quatre d’entre eux ont été tués. » Salem décrit des soldats israéliens de plus en plus agressifs. « Ils tirent pour tuer », dit-il, sans compter le déploiement des troupes autour de la ville. Naplouse est aujourd’hui à l’arrêt économiquement. « Ils ont installé encore plus de checkpoints, encore plus de barrières, ce qui empêche les gens d’entrer ou de sortir dans la ville. A cause de ça, les hôtels sont vides, les restaurants sont vides, le souk, le marché sont vides… » L’acheminement des marchandises est devenu un cauchemar, mais les habitants de Naplouse continuent à vivre tant bien que mal. « On a l’habitude, on a connu ça toute notre vie, explique Salem.

    %42 of the homes and residential buildings in Gaza have been bombed and destroyed by Israel in its extensive bombing and shellers from the lands, sea, and air since October 7.
