KUALA LUMPUR: The UN Security Council and world leaders have failed the people of Gaza, said Mercy Malaysia president Datuk Dr Jemilah Mahmood.
Dr Jemilah, who returned from Rafah, Egypt, yesterday, told a press conference that the Security Council and leaders should be held accountable for the Israeli aggression and massacre in Gaza.She was with Mercy‘s three-member logistics team which went to the Egyptian border town on Dec 31 to assess the situation and deliver US$100,000 (RM360,000) worth of medical supplies.
“We have witnessed children being shot in the head by sniper fire. You can say that you bombed a building and there’s collateral damage but when you target kids (with) bullet holes in their chest and their heads, this is not collateral damage,” she said.“It is now a question of accountability and I think we need to hold (world) leaders and the Security Council accountable to this.”
Dr Jemilah slammed the international community for taking too long to act, while the death toll and the injured increased daily.“We are now in the third week of the conflict. It’s a case of humanitarian crisis in the worst nature. “For me, both parties have to stop the violence immediately and consider the number of lives lost and damage incurred. “We can deal with the issue politically later because it can’t be at the expense of the innocent people of Gaza,” she said.
She said that she supported the UN’s call for an independent investigation into the bombing of two schools in the Jabaliya refugee camp and the Asma primary school in the Gaza city.
Green = Palestine White = IsrailSaya cuba membutakan mata dari melihat realiti dunia mutahkhir ini kerana blog ini adalah blog cerita dagang. Tapi melihat kedurjanaan Israil hati nurani saya tidak dapat dikaburi lagi. Sementara jiran2nya di dunia Arab sana seolah merelakan saudara mereka disembelih setiap saat, minit, jam dan hari. Adakah kita benar2 sudah hilang perikemanusiaan semata-mata untuk menikmati status-quo kita hari ini?
