A hundred killed in an airstrike on Al Hasahisa
A hundred people were killed in the city of Al-Hasahisa, Al-Jazeera state, as a result of an airstrike carried out by the Army’s warplanes.
The Emergency Lawyers rights group shared in a statement on Monday that the dead and wounded included women and children.
They added, “The massacres of aerial bombardment committed by the Armed Forces continue, which included the states of Al-Jazeera, Sennar, White Nile, West and North Darfur, as well as North Kordofan, resulting in the death of hundreds of civilians.”
The statement stressed that the massacres committed by warplanes are considered a full-fledged war crime. Pointing out that the insistence of the leaders responsible for these crimes is a scandal on an international and regional communities scale, as it blatantly shows the Armed Forces’ indifference to protecting defenseless civilians, while the suffering of the population increases as a result of the continuation of these attacks, which requires an urgent response from the international community.
The Emergency Lawyers rights group condemned, in the statement, the continued indiscriminate airstrikes and targeting of civilians. Stressing that the bombing violates the principles of distinction and proportionality stipulated in International Humanitarian Law.
The statement called on the international community to intervene immediately to stop these violations and protect the lives of civilians. Calling on the international community to assume its responsibility ss well in protecting human rights and ensuring that those involved in such crimes are held accountable.
For its part, the Hasahisa Resistance Committees stated that the Army’s warplanes carried out airstrikes that resulted in numerous casualties and injuries among civilians.
