Alkarama for Human Rights has been following events in the Ghazza strip closely from the beginning of the current crisis to try to establish a factual assessment, via our sources, of what is happening on the ground. We are deeply saddened at the ongoing violence in the occupied territory. It fully backs the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Secretary General's calls for an immediate halt to all violence by all parties to the conflict, in order to allow humanitarian assistance to reach the civilian population.
