UNRWA chief examines Anadolu's book proving Israeli war crimes in Gaza

The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has received and reviewed Anadolu's book The Evidence, which documents Israeli actions against Palestinian civilians in Gaza, including the use of banned weaponry such as white phosphorus.

At a press conference at the UN Geneva office, Philippe Lazzarini was presented the book by Anadolu's Geneva correspondent.

Lazzarini expressed his gratitude for the present.

While many countries remained silent on Israel's attacks in Gaza that began last October and indiscriminately targeted women and children, others put forward the argument of "insufficient evidence" for the massacres.

In response, Anadolu decided to publish a photobook with the help of its photojournalists and cameramen who have documented Israel's actions in the blockaded enclave since October 7, 2023.

The Evidence

The book, prepared by an expert team, has been published in Turkish, English and Arabic languages.

It also includes photographs of Israel's use of white phosphorus shells, which is restricted under international humanitarian law in densely populated civilian areas.

This month the Turkish news agency also screened a documentary by the same name, showcasing the extent of Israel's war crimes in Gaza.

Israel has waged an unrelenting offensive on the Palestinian enclave since a cross-border attack by Hamas last October.

More than 34,500 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, besides causing mass destruction, displacement and leaving most civilians hungry.
