BRIEFING DE PRESSE DE L'ONU À GENÈVE
5 mars 2024
Situation à Gaza
Le Dr Richard Peeperkorn, représentant de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) dans le territoire palestinien occupé, a déclaré depuis Jérusalem que plus de 30 500 personnes avaient été tuées à Gaza, tandis que près de 72 000 personnes avaient été blessées et que l'on estimait à 8 000 le nombre de personnes sous les décombres. Plus de deux millions de personnes étaient confrontées à une catastrophe humanitaire et à un désespoir total, ce qui entraînait des violations régulières de l'ordre public. Les gens vivaient dans des conditions insalubres et faisaient face à une insécurité alimentaire extrême. Le système de santé s'effondrait, avec seulement un tiers de tous les hôpitaux partiellement fonctionnels. Les dommages infrastructurels à travers la bande de Gaza étaient immenses, ce qui prendrait des décennies, plutôt que des années, à reconstruire. L'OMS et ses partenaires ont pu accéder au nord de Gaza, et le 1er mars, ils ont atteint l'hôpital Al-Shifa pour livrer 19 000 litres de carburant et des fournitures vitales pour 150 patients, ainsi que des traitements pour 50 enfants souffrant de malnutrition aiguë sévère. Une énorme destruction a été observée, ainsi que de la malnutrition. Le 3 mars, l'OMS et ses partenaires ont pu accéder aux hôpitaux Kamal Adwan et Al-Awda pour la première fois depuis le 7 octobre. La situation à l'hôpital Al-Awda était particulièrement effroyable, l'un des bâtiments ayant été détruit. Le Dr Peeperkorn a expliqué que l'hôpital Kamal Adwan était le seul hôpital de pédiatrie dans le nord de Gaza et était débordé de patients. L'OMS a réussi à livrer 9 500 litres de carburant à chaque hôpital, ainsi que des fournitures médicales essentielles - juste une fraction des besoins urgents en matière de sauvetage.

Rights experts call for end to impunity for Israel’s violations of international law
Four independent human rights experts have jointly called for the international community to sanction Israel’s conduct of hostilities in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as well as in the wider Middle East region - including in Syria, Lebanon and Iran. They also called for the restoration of trust in the international justice system through the abandonment of “extreme interpretations” and “double standards” in the application of the universal norms regulating the conduct of war.
