Straight-talking rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese has slammed “US funding of Israeli genocide” just hours ahead of a UN meeting to discuss Saturday’s Tabaeen School massacre.
“The ones used yesterday in the #AlTabinSchool massacre sliced bodies to the point of making them unrecognizable,” Albanese said on X.
“They are now identified by weight: 70kg bag = 1 adult. Revolting,” she added.
Despite the horror that claimed more than 100 lives of civilians sheltering there, US appetite for funding the genocide showed no sign of abating. Instead, it was “ballooning” as the Israeli army “uses ever more lethal bombs”, Albanese said
Earlier, the Director General of the Gaza government media office, Ismail Al-Thawabta, said the Israeli military attacked the school with three missiles, each containing 2,000 pounds of explosives.
Al-Jazeera’s Gaza correspondent, Anas al-Sharif, described the scene as catastrophic, with shredded bodies of martyrs burned and scattered in pieces across the prayer area and the schoolyard.
The US State Department last Thursday revealed it would provide Israel with $3.5 billion to purchase American weapons even as it called for calm in the region after the Ismail Haniyeh massacre.
The funds came from the $14.1 billion supplemental funding bill for Israel that Congress passed in April.
After the massacre, Albanese described Gaza as “the largest and most shameful concentration camp of the 21st century.”
Israel was “genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one ‘safe zone’ at the time,” she said.
“With US and European weapons. And amid the indifference of all ‘civilized nations’,” she added.
Gaza’s Ministry of Health says 39,897 Palestinians have been murdered and 92,152 wounded, with at least 11,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble.
