The Palestine Government has called on the Red Cross and relevant international organizations to pressure Israel to open its prisons for visits and to ensure that Palestinian detainees are treated in accordance with international law.
Ambassador of the Embassy of the State of Palestine in Nigeria, Abdullah M. Abu Shawesh who made the call in Abuja on Thursday during his weekly press briefing on the ongoing Israeli/Palestine war explained that, as at Wednesday, September 24, in Gaza, 41,467 Palestinians have been martyred and 95,921 injured.
while calling calling on the Red Cross to fulfill its duties in accordance with the internationally applicable protocols regarding the receipt and delivery of bodies, Ambassador Shawesh noted that the Palestinians stopped procedures for receiving truck belonging to the Red Cross containing approximately 88 bodies that the occupation had kidnapped from the Gaza Strip.
This according to him was due to lack of data or information indicating the knowledge of their owners and the places where they were recovered.
“When the world is ruled by criminal gangsters, thugs, and bandits;When hypocrisy and double standards become the norm in many Western media outlets;
When criminal leaders brazenly repeat Israel’s right to defend itself, and turn their backs on the Palestinians’ right to defend and liberate themselves;
When you are all accused of anti-Semitism if you refuse to consume the canned beliefs about Israel or challenge the hollow justifications of its crimes;
When the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court announces that he has been threatened and warned that the ICC was created only for Africans and Russia”. He noted.
“In July 2024 alone, 21 strikes on schools serving as shelters were recorded across the Gaza Strip. As a result, over 270 people were killed and dozens injured.
Among the casualties were women and children, older people and other civilians. The war has robbed every boy and girl in Gaza of their childhood and education.
More than 625,000 students have been out of learning since the war began. They have all witnessed unimaginable atrocities no child should go through”.
”am grateful to the government and people of Nigeria for their support of the Palestinian people’s right to freedom and independence at the United Nations General Assembly.
Vice President Mr. Kashim Shettima delivered a national speech endorsing these rights and the two-state solution”.
