Dozens of bodies found in Gaza City neighborhood

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

The bodies of dozens of Palestinians have been retrieved from the Tal al-Hawa neighbourhood after Israeli forces withdrew from parts of Gaza City, Palestinian rescue workers have said.

“The Gaza civil defence teams moved in to rescue survivors. They found dozens killed. Most of those killed are families, women, and children. Some bodies were eaten by dogs,” Gaza’s civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal said on Friday.

At least 60 bodies were counted. Some bodies were buried on the spot. Others were taken to nearby hospitals.”

Israeli forces had entered the neighbourhood this week after ordering civilians to evacuate on Monday.

“Many bodies are still under the rubble. The Israeli forces are stationed nearby and the rescue efforts are interrupted regularly,” Basal said.

The discovery has come after Israeli forces withdrew from Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood. On Thursday, Basal said civil defence teams recovered dozens of bodies from there, as well, adding that the neighbourhood has become uninhabitable.

“Documented testimonies” have been taken that Israeli forces opened fire on residents in the neighbourhood despite being located on designated evacuation routes, he said.
Home to more than a quarter of Gaza’s residents before the war, Gaza City was largely razed to the ground in late 2023, but hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had returned to homes in the ruins before Israel once again ordered them to leave.

Hamas, the Palestinian group that governs Gaza, accused Israeli forces of “atrocities” and called for international accountability. In a statement, the group accused Israel of committing “heinous abuses” in Gaza City.

“The atrocities revealed after the terrorist occupation army’s withdrawal from Tal al-Hawa in southwest Gaza City, after days of incursion and intense bombing that targeted all aspects of life, are war crimes of genocide and ethnic cleansing,” Hamas said.

It called on the UN and international community to take immediate steps to end a “war of extermination” that Israel is waging against Palestinians.

US complicit in Israeli war crimes – NATO member

Posted on by नेपाल राष्ट्रिय दैनिक

US President Joe Biden and his administration are complicit in Israeli war crimes in Gaza, Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan has argued, while calling for sanctions against West Jerusalem.

In an interview with Newsweek on Thursday during the annual NATO summit in Washington, the Turkish leader said that Israel’s “deliberate” attacks on civilian infrastructure in Gaza constituted war crimes, something Israel has fiercely denied.

“The brutal murder of innocent people in hospitals where they go for treatment, in ambulances, in marketplaces, in centers where humanitarian aid is distributed, and in areas defined as safe is the gravest violation of human rights,” Erdogan stated.

However, according to the Turkish president, the Biden administration “disregards these violations and provides Israel with the most support.”

“They do so at the expense of being complicit in these violations,” Erdogan added.

NATO member Türkiye has repeatedly condemned Israel’s assault on Gaza and criticized Western governments for their continued backing of Israel. Ankara halted trade with West Jerusalem soon after the conflict began last October. Speaking to Newsweek, Erdogan also reiterated his call to sanction Israel.

“At this juncture, who will impose what kind of sanction against Israel for violating international law? That is the real question and no one is answering that,” he said.

The death toll from the eight-month offensive by Israel in Gaza has surpassed 38,000 people, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

Erdogan also reaffirmed his stance on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, saying that Western leaders were taking potentially dangerous approaches to both conflicts which could escalate into larger confrontations.

“The attitude of some of our Western allies towards Russia has only fuelled the fire,” he argued. “This has resulted in more harm than good for Ukraine.”
