GENEVA: Israeli actions in Gaza, including strikes on populated areas in which civilians have been killed, bear the hallmarks of atrocities, the agency that coordinates UN humanitarian aid said on Friday.
“There is a callous disregard for human life and dignity. The acts of war that we see bear the hallmarks of atrocity crimes,” Jens Laerke, spokesman for the office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs, said in Geneva.
“Every day we have seen children being killed, aid workers being killed, people being forcibly displaced with no means for their survival,” added Laerke, who also noted the resumption of rocket fire from Palestinian factions in Gaza.
