when will we wake up !!!
The International Committee of the Red Cross accused Israel of failing in its international obligations after its staff were met with “shocking” scenes.
One medical team found 12 bodies in a shelled house, and alongside them four very young children, too weak to stand, waiting by their dead mothers, the ICRC said.
Aid workers had been denied access to the site for days, it added.
“This is a shocking incident,” Pierre Wettach, ICRC head for Israel and the Palestinian territories said in a statement.
“The Israeli military must have been aware of the situation but did not assist the wounded. Neither did they make it possible for us or the Palestinian Red Crescent to assist the wounded.”
Correspondents say the criticism is unusually strong, coming from an agency considered to be neutral.
