Israel alleges that UNRWA has been infiltrated by Hamas, which the agency denies and says it takes measures to ensure its neutrality.

PBS News

The #intelligence deepened concerns in Washington over Israel’s conduct in a #war it said was necessary to eliminate #Palestinian #Hamas fighters embedded in civilian infrastructure — the same group whose Oct 7, 2023, attack on #Israel sparked the conflict. There were concerns Israel was intentionally targeting #civilians & #humanitarian workers, a potential #WarCrime which Israel has strongly denied.

Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID), chairman of the #US #Senate #ForeignRelations Committee, on Tuesday denounced the #RSF attacks on the city, & called for it to be designated as a foreign #terrorist organization.

“The RSF has waged terror & committed unspeakable atrocities, genocide among them, against the Sudanese people,” he wrote on X.

“An unfathomable horror,” Simon Mane, a national director for the World Vision aid group, said. “Children are not just dying; they are being brutally robbed of their very existence, their hopes & futures cruelly wiped away. Their fate is a devastating moral failure.”
#Aid groups said hundreds were killed & hundreds detained since the #RSF overran the city, but a death toll has been difficult to determine given a near communication blackout.

The HRL also said that “systematic killings” took place in the vicinity of the eastern wall, which the #RSF built outside the city earlier this year.

It also reported what it said were targeted attacks by the RSF on #health facilities, #HealthWorkers, patients & #HumanitarianAid workers, which it said amount to #WarCrimes.

In a report late Tuesday, the Yale School of Public Health’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) said that #RSF fighters continued to carry out #MassKillings since they took over #elFasher.

The report, which relied on satellite imagery from Airbus, said it corroborated alleged #executions & mass killing by the RSF around the Saudi Hospital, & at a detention center at the former Children’s Hospital in the eastern part of the city.
