Germany’s FM latest to warn Israel against Rafah offensive
Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has warned Israel against its planned military offensive against Rafah in the southernmost part of the Gaza Strip, Germany’s DPA news agency reports. “Taking action now in Rafah, the last and most overcrowded place, as announced by the Israeli defence minister, would simply not be justifiable,” Baerbock told the media organisation Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland (RND) in remarks published on Saturday.
“The majority of the victims are women and children. Let’s just imagine: They are our children,” she said.
After more than 10,000 dead, over 19,000 children orphaned, more than 1,000 with amputated limbs (some without anesthesia nor painkillers) over 600,000 now homeless and nearly all of the children require mental health and psychosocial support, couldn't you imagine that a bit earlier....
UN human rights high commissioner Volker Turk said he was “deeply worried by [the] Israel defence minister’s remarks on military push to Rafah”. “This sets off alarm bells for massive civilian casualties and further displacement to unknown location for over 1.5m already vulnerable Palestinians ordered into Rafah” by the Israeli military, he said in comments posted on social media.
