People in Jabalia killed with ‘unspeakable cruelty and sadism’: UN official

Israeli forces are committing “another massacre” in northern Gaza’s Jabalia refugee camp, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories says.

Francesca Albanese said Palestinian civilians in Jabalia “are killed — both in groups and one by one – amid unspeakable cruelty and sadism” by Israeli troops “who have accepted to be ‘willing executioners’ of a genocidal plan”.

The Israeli attacks are being conducted with Western support and weapons, Albanese noted.

“It blows my mind to think that WE KNOW what Israel is doing and altogether we cannot stop it. Looking at where we were 100 years ago, no much progress has been achieved,” she said in a post on X.
