Govt. supports UN inquiry into Gaza situation

Jul 29, 2014 News

As Muslims across the globe observed Eid ul-Fitr yesterday, the government signaled support for the United Nations Human Rights Council’s call to launch an international inquiry into the situation in Gaza.
Government’s support comes at a time when the ceasefire order by the United Nations was disobeyed. And, the fighting has killed more than 1,040 Palestinians, 43 Israeli soldiers and three civilians on the Israeli side.
While reiterating calls for a peaceful and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which resulted in the loss of lives, Government wants those accountable to be brought to justice.
According to Aljazeera, (another media outlet) missiles struck several sites in Gaza, including a park inside a refugee camp and an outpatient building of the strip’s largest hospital amidst Eid al-Fitr holiday.
Eight persons, including seven children, died following missile fire on a park inside the Shati refugee camp on the edge of Gaza City, Aljazeera reported.
According to the Guyana Government, it is following the tragic events obtaining in Gaza and condemns in the strongest of terms the deaths of hundreds of innocent lives including women and children.
“We also express our deep condemnation of the war crimes being committed and the Israeli air strike on the United Nations Shelter for refugees which has killed over a dozen people. Guyana deeply regrets this additional loss of life and injury,” Government said.
Government stressed that this action has signaled a wanton disregard for the internationally renowned symbolism of the United Nations.
