The death toll of Palestinians as at 18th September, 2024, has surpassed 41,272 martyrs 95,551 injuries and over 10,000 Palestinians still missing under the rubble.
Ambassador of the Embassy of the State of Palestine, Abdullah M. Abu Shawesh who made the disclosure in Abuja during his weekly press briefing on the ongoing war between Israeli and Palestine explained that
“At least one quarter of the people injured in Gaza are estimated to have life-changing injuries that require rehabilitation services now and for years to come.
The analysis found that severe limb injuries, estimated to be between 13 455 to 17 550, are the main driver of the need for rehabilitation.
Many of those injured have more than one injury. According to the report, between 3105 and 4050 limb amputations have also occurred”
As according to Ambassador Shawesh, the United Nations General Assembly on the 18th September, 2024, over whelmingly adopted a resolution to impose sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel.
The resolution which according to him demands that Israel bring an end to its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory no later than 12 months. or face sanctions.
He noted that with 124 out of 193 UN member states voting in favor of the resolution, proves once again that the international community, apart from the classical occupying club, supports the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and an end to Israel’s deadly and prolonged occupation.
While extending his heartfelt gratitude to the Federal Republic of Nigeria for its continued support and vote in favor of the resolution along with 123 other countries, he said that UN experts are warning that the edifice of international law stands upon a knife’s edge, with most States failing to take meaningful steps to comply with their international obligations reaffirmed in the {ICJ} ruling.
Two days ago marked the 76th anniversary of the assassination of the UN peace mediator Count Folke Bernadette at the hands of a Jewish militia gang called Lehi.
In 1983, the former leader of Lehi, Yitzhak Shamir, became the Prime Minister of Israel.
In clear violation of human rights and hideous exploitation, a new investigation conducted by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, prove that “Israel is recruiting African asylum seekers for life-threatening Gaza war operations, promising them permanent legal status”.
“When we say Israel is a pariah state, we are absolutely correct”. He explained.
Ambassador Shawesh however, called on international law, the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice and an endless list of institutions and individuals daring to stand up against US-Israeli war against human rights, moral values,
their brutal, barbaric and tyrannical colonial interests.
