United Nations, May 31 (RHC)-- A group of experts at the United Nations has issued a call for “decisive international action” after expressing outrage at the Israeli attack that killed at least 50 Palestinians sheltering in a makeshift tent camp in Rafah.

“Harrowing images of destruction, displacement and death have emerged from Rafah, including infants torn apart and people burnt alive,” the UN experts said.  “Reports emerging from the ground indicate that the strikes were indiscriminate and disproportionate, with people trapped inside burning plastic tents, leading to a horrific casualty toll.”

These “barbaric” attacks constitute a grave breach of the laws of war, the experts said, expressing deep frustration at the international community’s failure to stop Israel’s assault on Gaza.   The experts called for an independent probe into the attack on Rafah, as well as immediate sanctions and an arms embargo against Israel.

“The agony of Gaza’s people must end now,” they said.
