On 23 March Physicians for Human Rights-Israel and the Palestinian Medical Relief Society launched their report into violations of international law during the 22 day offensive in Gaza. Based on numerous first hand testimonies obtained during an international, independent fact-finding mission, it documents causes of death, degree of care for the sick and wounded, and the treatment of medical personnel and facilities.
Physicians for Human Rights–Israel argues that the attack on Gaza revealed a stark decline in Israeli Defence Force treatment of Palestinian civilians.
The evening is organised by Pax Christi, the Justice and Peace Commission of Middlesbrough Diocese and York Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
