Medical Relief and Other Civilian Buildings Under Attack

April 1, 2002 - Palestine Monitor

The Israeli army’s current sporadic shelling of civilian buildings and
indiscriminate shooting is endangering Palestinian lives.

The UPMRC building in Ramallah has come under tank fire while doctors,
joined by 15 Italian volunteers including the member of the European
Parliament, Ms. Luisa Morgantini, were inside treating patients. They were
all able to escape unharmed.

However an injured man on the second floor jumped from the window in order
to escape. The doctors rushed to his aid but Israeli soldiers present
refused to allow him treatment. Ms. Morgantini tried to intervene but even
this was in vain - still he remained untreated. Israeli soldiers then
arrested him.

This is a very dangerous matter and means that all humanitarian
institutions, including medical facilities are subject to danger, in fact it
would appear they are coming under deliberate targeting.

Furthermore, 10 minutes ago a UPMRC ambulance came under attack, also from a
tank, while trying to reach an injured person.

We demand immediate intervention to restrain the aggressive behaviour of the
Israeli army; an aggression directed at a civilian population – these
attacks on UPMRC are just two examples from a day filled with such events.

We also reiterate our call for the immediate presence of an international
protection force on the ground.
