Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said Israel is subjecting thousands of Palestinians detained in the Gaza Strip to inhumane treatment. According to him, the Israeli army has arrested thousands of Palestinians in Gaza. They were stripped down to their underwear and loaded into trucks, handcuffed and blindfolded. “Once arrested, these prisoners cannot be contacted and are subjected to shockingly inhumane treatment such as beatings, threats with dogs and being held in stress positions for many hours. They also cannot go to the toilet. Detained UN employees confirmed these accusations,” Lazzarini said. at a briefing in Geneva. In addition, the head of UNRWA noted during his speech that about a thousand arrested Palestinians were released through the Kerem Shalom checkpoint. However, the total number of prisoners, he continued, has not yet been established. Let us recall that earlier Philip Lazarini made a statement that restoring normal life in the enclave will take a long time, perhaps several decades. It was also reported that the International Criminal Court may issue arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other country officials for alleged violations of international law in the Gaza Strip.
