UN: Human Rights Chief Calls for Investigation into Israeli Attacks on Gaza Hospitals! (1.1.2025)

Blogger’s Note:  Labour MP Mike Amesbury (Runcorn and Helsbury) – a member of the “Labour Friends of Israel” – recently showed his true “Zionist” tendency by “beating” to the ground a working-class British man – Paul Fellows – who dared to “question” why it is that Starmer’s reactionary Labour Party thought it prudent (after 14-years of right-wing Tory rule) to “stop” the so-called (modest) elderly people’s “Cold Weather Payments” – designed to assist the poor and the vulnerable to have the heating “on” for a little extra amount of time! Mike Amesbury – like a typical IDF soldier in Gaza – beat his constituent to the ground whilst demanding he “ceases” his exercise of freedom of thought! The infiltration of Western governments of Zionist (fascist) thought is so prolific and thorough that the IDF can commit the most hideous of War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity on TV – be found guilty of doing this by the highest Courts in existence (the ICC and ICJ) – and be allowed to continue in this behaviour! Even the British RAF has been (illegally) bombing Yemen for the last 18-months for that country (Yemen) daring to support the beleaguered Palestinian and Lebanese people! (1.1.2025)

Widespread destruction of Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure has resulted in significant loss of life among patients and medical staff, deepening the humanitarian crisis.

GENEVA, Dec. 31 (Xinhua) — Israeli attacks on hospitals in Gaza have pushed the region’s healthcare system to “the brink of total collapse”, causing “catastrophic effect” on Palestinians’ access to health and medical care, said a report released on Tuesday by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).

“It is essential that there be independent, thorough and transparent investigations of all of these incidents, and full accountability for all violations of international humanitarian and human rights law which have taken place,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk.

The attacks, documented between Oct. 12, 2023 and June 30, 2024, raise serious concerns about Israel’s compliance with international law, the report said, adding that widespread destruction of Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure resulted in significant loss of life among patients, medical staff, and civilians, deepening the humanitarian crisis.

In most cases, Israel claimed Palestinian armed groups misused hospitals for military purposes. However, the report described these allegations as “vague and broad,” with insufficient evidence provided. In some cases, the accusations appeared “contradicted by publicly available information.”

“The protection of hospitals during warfare is paramount and must be respected by all sides, at all times,” said Turk.
