GENEVA – The estimated number of Palestinians
killed or missing for days under rubble as a result of the unprecedented
Israeli military attack on the Gaza Strip now virtually exceeds the number of
the
Srebrenica Massacre victims,
Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor said today.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Geneva-based
Euro-Med Monitor reported that 6,734 Palestinians—including 2,812 children—had
been killed and about 1,755 more were reported missing beneath the rubbles of
demolished residential buildings.
The Srebrenica genocide took place from July
11 to 22, 1995, during the Bosnia and Herzegovina war, which is considered one
of the worst massacres that Europe has seen since World War II.
The massacre took place in
Srebrenica City,
where 8,372 Bosniak Muslims lost their lives, most of whom were males aged
between 12 and 77 years.
Euro-Med Monitor says that Israel’s conduct in
Gaza bespeaks of an annihilation campaign as a form of retaliation against the
entire population, employing heavy artillery and ceaseless bombing of densely
populated residential areas, inhabited houses, and civilian gatherings causing
the greatest number of casualties among civilians compared to any previous war
on Gaza.
During their tours of
Gaza's hospitals,
Euro-Med Monitor’s team witnessed hundreds of injured men, women, and children
who were laying on stretchers, beds, and the ground and receiving
inadequate medical care, while dozens of bodies, including those of children, were kept in
tents in the squares due to the overcrowding in the hospitals’ morgues.
