EAA Condemns the Attacks on Gaza Schools
EAA reiterates it's condemnation of the ongoing deliberate attacks on schools in the Gaza Strip, particularly the most recent bombings of UNRWA-run schools sheltering displaced persons.
Targeting of schools, and all civilian infrastructure must cease. Attacks on schools and the deliberate targeting of children are gross violations of international law and constitute war crimes.
EAA stresses the critical need to establish a minimum standard that schools must never be targeted during war. Justice and accountability for victims of these egregious violations must remain central to all collective efforts of ending the horrific violence and bloodshed.
EAA supports the call of the Secretary General of the United Nations invoking his special powers under Article 99 of the UN Charter, for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. This has now become a matter for the survival of the children and people of Gaza.
