International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutor Karim Khan says “the suffering of children, women and men is profound and ongoing” in Gaza.
“Most fundamentally, there should not be any impediment to humanitarian relief supplies going to children, to women and men, civilians. They are innocent and have rights under international humanitarian law,” he said in an address from the Rafah border crossing.
“We need to make sure that the law is on the front lines, and the law is seeing to ameliorate the suffering of so many at this moment living in terror and frightened and have a right to be protected by the institutions built after the Second World War.
“My office is determined to make sure we vindicate those right wherever possible and wherever we have jurisdiction,” he added.
