The experts highlighted that the combination of widespread evacuation orders and the \u201csystemic destruction of homes\u201d reinforces evidence of a deliberate strategy of forced displacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement issued a sharp condemnation of the indiscriminate bombing campaign launched on April 8, which struck 150 simultaneous targets just hours after a ceasefire announcement between the United States and Iran. That specific offensive resulted in at least 303 deaths and 1,150 injuries. The rapporteurs characterized the strikes as \u201ca flagrant violation of the UN Charter,\u201d a \u201cdeliberate destruction of peace prospects,\u201d and an \u201caffront to multilateralism and the international order.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Signatories, including Francesca Albanese (Special Rapporteur for the Palestinian Territories) and Paula Gaviria (Displaced Persons), emphasized the legal gravity of current military tactics. \u201cThe forced displacement of the civilian population constitutes crimes against humanity and war crimes under international law,\u201d the experts stated, noting that these actions mirror the humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data from the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health\u2019s Emergency Operations Center reveals a staggering toll since the conflict began on March 2. Total casualties have reached 2,167 killed and 7,061 wounded, including 172 children dead and 656 injured. The healthcare infrastructure has faced direct aggression, with 17 hospitals and 101 emergency vehicles attacked, resulting in the deaths of 91 medical workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UN experts urged the international community to move beyond rhetoric, specifically calling on the United States to leverage its influence and exhorting other states to \u201csuspend the transfer of arms to Israel\u201d while these violations continue. Despite these warnings, the intensity of the military campaign persists, heightening the crisis for civilians across southern Lebanon<a href=\"https:\/\/kawiri.telesurenglish.net\/israeli-actions-in-lebanon-amount-to-war-crimes-un-experts\/\">.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ SOURCE: teleSUR ]<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UN rapporteurs condemn the April 8 bombing campaign and call for an immediate arms embargo to halt the replication of the Gaza genocide A panel of twenty United Nations human&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[8],"class_list":["post-10833","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"authors":[{"term_id":8,"user_id":1,"is_guest":0,"slug":"yolaunicaquehay","display_name":"RRebeldeAdminWP","avatar_url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/e6145d63ff95c9a0f0e53b7149804b1faf86748d6cc15f466103269a288ea377?s=96&d=mm&r=g","0":null,"1":"","2":"","3":"","4":"","5":"","6":"","7":"","8":""}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10833","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10833"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10833\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10835,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10833\/revisions\/10835"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10833"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10833"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10833"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.radiorebelde.cu\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=10833"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
