Amnesty warns Israel of constituting war crimes
By: Nabil Raza
LONDON, Britain: Amnesty International warned
Israel that 'deliberate attacks by Israeli forces against
civilian property and infrastructure in the Gaza Strip violate
international humanitarian law and constitute war crimes'.
"Israel must now take urgent measures to remedy the long-term
damage it has caused and immediately restore the supply -- at
its own cost -- of electricity and water to the Palestinian
population in the affected areas," the London-based human
rights group said.
“As the occupying power, Israel is bound under international
law to protect and safeguard the basic human rights of the
Palestinian population,” it reminded.
Amnesty specified that the deliberate destruction of the Gaza
Strip's only electricity power station, water networks,
bridges, roads and other infrastructure is a 'violation of the
Fourth Geneva Convention and has major and long-term
humanitarian'.

guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the

get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
