Gaza: Rights Group Reports ‘Massacres’ in Shujayea

IQNA – The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor has received reports that Israeli forces are involved in “widespread massacres” in the Shujayea and Jdaida neighborhoods of Gaza City.

According to the group’s chairman, Ramy Abdul, their field team has documented instances of victims being executed on the spot or having their shelters bombed.

The Israeli attacks on the besieged Gaza Strip since October last year has killed at least 37,834 and injured 86,858 others with majority of victims being women and children.

Meanwhile, the United Nations Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has expressed concern about deteriorating conditions for displaced civilians in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighborhood, exacerbated by high temperatures and the accumulation of waste and sewage.

Despite stalled ceasefire talks, a senior Hamas official, Osama Hamdan, reaffirmed on Saturday the group’s willingness to engage positively with any proposal that includes a “permanent ceasefire.”
