It has become evident that the zionist targeting of shelter centers, which are crowded with citizens, is systematic and carried out under false pretexts and excuses. The occupation disregards the protection mandated by international humanitarian law for these schools, as they are civilian objects and are affiliated with a United Nations agency, bearing the U.N. flag. Moreover, these schools house large numbers of people — and any targeting results in a high number of civilian martyrs and injuries.

We condemn the continuation of the occupation’s bombing of shelter centers and the ongoing genocide against our people. We call on the U.N. and the international community to take serious action to end this zionist bullying and criminality that targets unarmed civilians everywhere in the Gaza Strip, pursuing them with bombing and killing in every corner they seek refuge in.

We hold the United States jointly responsible with the occupation for these crimes, and we call on the International Criminal Court to take practical legal steps regarding these crimes against humanity. We also call on the International Court of Justice to issue a judicial ruling to stop this aggression and to condemn the occupation and its leaders for all the crimes committed since the beginning of the aggression.
