Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territory, has called for an end to arms transfers to Israel, Al Jazeera reports.
“Seriously, how many children, along with their parents and grandparents, we must witness being starved, burned alive, or gathered into plastic bags after Western-manufactured bombs have shattered them?” she said in a social media post.
Several Western countries have continued to supply lethal weapons to Israel despite the enormous human toll caused by its military offensive on the Palestinian enclave.
“Israel must be stopped, and so [should] the states supplying it with weapons,” Albanese wrote.
