Palestinian Ambassador Condemns Israeli Massacre, Calls for Ceasefire Amidst Humanitarian Crisis”
By Desire Tshuma
In a vehement denouncement, Palestinian Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Dr. Tamer Almassri, has decried the Israeli occupation forces’ brutal massacre of starving Palestinian civilians awaiting humanitarian aid trucks at the Al Nabulsi Roundabout in Gaza.
The Ambassador demands an immediate ceasefire as the sole means to safeguard civilians in the region.
The assault, which claimed the lives of at least 150 individuals and left over 1000 wounded, is characterized by Dr. Almassri as a premeditated act of genocide and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Israel.
He contends that the Israeli army callously targeted individuals seeking sustenance, exhibiting a blatant disregard for human life.
Dr. Almassri holds Israel accountable for war crimes and genocide, citing deliberate efforts to starve Palestinians through the destruction of food supplies and severe restrictions on essential resources. The atrocity underscores Israel’s persistent flouting of international law and its continued policy of displacement against the Palestinian people.
Furthermore, Dr. Almassri emphasizes the complicity of the global community in the enduring plight of Palestinians, attributing it to a moral and legal failure.
Despite professed commitments to peace and human rights, the escalating suffering of Palestinians persists unabated under Israeli apartheid.
Since the commencement of Israeli aggression on Gaza in October, civilian casualties have soared, with over 30,000 lives lost, the majority being women and children. Additionally, thousands remain trapped beneath the rubble, while essential infrastructure, including homes, government offices, UN facilities, and hospitals, lies decimated.
In light of these harrowing developments, Dr. Almassri urges urgent international intervention to halt the bloodshed and address the humanitarian crisis plaguing Gaza.
