IPPNW-Pressemitteilung vom 22.1.2015

Die israelische Organisation “Ärzte für Menschenrechte” wirft der israelischen Regierung in einem gestern veröffentlichten Bericht zahlreiche Verstöße gegen das humanitäre Völkerrecht vor. Diese hätten zu hohen Opferzahlen unter der palästinensischen Zivilbevölkerung während des Gaza-Krieges im Sommer 2014 geführt. Anlässlich dieser Vorwürfe und des fortgesetzten israelischen Siedlungsbaus im Westjordanland fordert die IPPNW erneut den Stopp deutscher Waffenlieferungen nach Israel.

Die israelische Ärzteorganisation befragte für ihren Bericht Kriegsopfer, palästinensische Rettungssanitäter und Ärzte und wertete Akten zu 370 Todesfällen aus. Sie stellte die einzige unabhängige Untersuchungsgruppe, denen die israelischen Behörden während des Krieges die Einreise in den Gazastreifen erlaubten. Lesen Sie mehr »

Urgent Appeal to Palestinian President and Government: PCHR Warns of Consequences of Fuel Shortage at Gaza Hospitals and Expected Suspension of Health Services at UAE Red Crescent Hospital
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR)

October 21, 2014 -The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) warns of the disastrous and grave deterioration that may affect the Palestinian patients in the Gaza Strip due to the lack of fuel that is necessary to operate electricity generators as an alternative power supply in light of prolonged outages. PCHR calls upon the Palestinian President and government to immediately intervene to ensure the prompt supply of fuel needed for the operation of generators in health facilities in the Gaza Strip. According to investigations conducted by PCHR, hospitals, clinics and first aid centers suffer a real crisis due to the lack of diesel needed for the operation of generators, especially the UAE Red Crescent Hospital in Rafah, which may stop offering medical services within hours because it has run out of the diesel used for generators…

Gaza Strip: Attacks in the border areas and their consequences
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR)

October 21, 2014 – Following disengagement from the Gaza Strip in September 2005, Israel unilaterally and illegally established a so-called „buffer zone“, an area prohibited to Palestinians along the land and sea borders of the Gaza Strip. The precise area designated by Israel as a „buffer zone“ is not clear and this Israeli policy is typically enforced with live fire. The establishment of the ‚buffer zone’ is illegal under both Israeli and international law. Preventing Palestinians from accessing their lands and fishing areas violates numerous provisions of international human rights law, including the right to work, the right to an adequate standard of living, and the right to the highest attainable standard of health. Enforcing the „buffer zone“ through the use of live fire often results in, inter alia, the direct targeting of civilians and/or indiscriminate attacks, both of which constitute war crimes.
