Washington, March 30 (RHC)-- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), based in Washington, DC, has welcomed comments by the United Nations that described Israel’s military conduct in Gaza as “atrocity crimes.”
CAIR also called for a UN investigation into the reported execution of Palestinian ambulance crew and civil defence rescuers in Rafah’s Tal as-Sultan district this week.
“The fact that the Israeli government has been committing atrocities in Gaza is perhaps the understatement of the century. The horrors witnessed since the commencement of Israel’s campaign of mass slaughter in Gaza have shaken the world,” said Edward Ahmed Mitchell, CAIR’s deputy executive director, in a statement.
“The United States and the nations of the world cannot allow this crime against humanity to continue. The Israeli government must be prevented from committing further atrocities and must be held accountable for the war crimes it has committed with impunity.”

Rafah, March 30 (RHC)-- Reports from southern Gaza affirm that armed Israeli attack drones are targetting civilians in both the northern and southern regions of the besieged Gaza Strip.
According to eye-witnesses, drones have been buzzing incessantly above hospital in Rafah.
Attack drones hit a community kitchen where people gathered for food in the Shujayea neighbourhood on Saturday. Family members of those wounded were seen running into the hospital to check if their loved ones are still alive. Three people are in critical condition in the operating theatre.
One foreign correspondent reporting on the attacks said that "shredded bodies" were loaded onto a cart and brought to the emergency room of Al-Ahli Hospital.
In southern Khan Younis, an Israeli drone attacked an animal-drawn cart and four people were killed on the spot. Another attack on a tent in the city’s east wounded several more.
