Yhdysvallat arvostelee Israelin toimia Gazassa - epäilyjä aseiden käytöstä

conflict - Gaza - humanitarian aid - international law - Israel - USA

Uusien raporttien valossa Yhdysvallat ilmaisee huolensa Israelin mahdollisista aseiden väärinkäyttötapauksista Gazassa. Lue lisää!

Yhdysvaltain presidentti Joe Bidenin hallinnon raportti on paljastanut, että Israelin joukot todennäköisesti käyttivät Yhdysvalloista hankittuja aseita tavalla, joka on 'epäjohdonmukaista' kansainvälisen oikeuden kanssa. Raportin mukaan on olemassa väitteitä siitä, että Israel rikkoi kansainvälistä humanitaarista oikeutta tarkastelujakson aikana. Vaikka epäilyksiä on esitetty, Biden ei käyttänyt odotettua voimakasta reaktiota. Samalla Yhdysvallat on lisännyt painetta Israelia kohtaan ja pyrkii pitämään maan ja Hamasin sitoutuneena Gazan tulitaukoneuvotteluihin.

Gazassa odotetaan Israelin hyökkäystä, mikä on aiheuttanut joukkopakoja etenkin Rafahin kaupungista. Ihmiset lähtevät kaupungista tiet täynnä ja YK:n pakolaisapujärjestön UNWRAn on painokkaasti kehottanut avustusreittien avaamista. Gaza on ollut jatkuvan taistelun ja humanitaarisen kriisin keskellä, kun Israelin sotilastoimet ovat laajentuneet.

Apujärjestöjen epäilykset Yhdysvalloista rakennetun laiturin suhteen Gazan edustalla ovat heränneet. Samanaikaisesti Gazan eteläisimmän kaupungin Rafahin raskaat taistelut ovat pitäneet avustusreitit suljettuina ja vaikeuttaneet humanitaarisen avun saamista alueelle. Yhdysvaltain sotilaslaivan lastattuna avustustarvikkeilla on luvattu lisäävän apua Gazalle, mutta epäilykset herättävät kysymyksiä avustustoiminnan tehokkuudesta.
