“Selon notre examen initial, au moins 71 civils ont été tués par les forces israéliennes au Liban, depuis l'entrée en vigueur du cessez-le-feu le 27 novembre de l'année dernière. Parmi les victimes figurent 14 femmes et 9 enfants. Les gens restent saisis par la peur, et plus de 92 000 sont encore déplacés de leurs foyers,” a déclaré l'orateur Thameen-Al-Kheetan.
De plus, depuis le début du cessez-le-feu, au moins cinq roquettes, deux obus de mortier et un drone ont été lancés depuis le Liban vers le nord d'Israël, selon l'armée israélienne. Des dizaines de milliers d'Israéliens seraient encore déplacés du nord.
“La violence doit cesser immédiatement. Toutes les parties au conflit doivent respecter le droit international humanitaire, y compris les principes de distinction, de proportionnalité et de précaution. Il doit y avoir des enquêtes rapides, indépendantes et impartiales sur toutes les allégations de violations graves du droit international humanitaire, et ceux qui en sont responsables doivent être tenus pour responsables,” a déclaré Al-Kheetan lors du point de presse bihebdomadaire de l'ONU à Genève.
“Toutes les personnes déplacées à l'intérieur, au Liban et en Israël, devraient pouvoir rentrer chez elles en toute sécurité. Les restes explosifs de guerre dans le sud du Liban devraient être enlevés pour garantir que les gens puissent reprendre leur vie en toute sécurité à leur retour,” a-t-il ajouté.
“Le Haut-Commissaire des Nations Unies Volker Türk exhorte toutes les parties à respecter les engagements qu'elles ont pris dans le cadre du cessez-le-feu – qui doit évoluer vers une cessation permanente des hostilités – et à garantir le plein respect et la mise en œuvre de la Résolution 1701 du Conseil de sécurité,” a souligné Al-Kheetan.
