Oxfam condemns killing of water engineers in Gaza

Oxfam Australia Media Release

Oxfam condemns in the strongest terms the killing of four water engineers and workers in Gaza today from the Khuzaa municipality who were working with our strategic partner the Coastal Municipalities Water Utility (CMWU).

The four men were killed on their way to conduct repairs to water infrastructure in Khuzaa, east of Khan Younis. Despite prior coordination with Israeli authorities their clearly-marked vehicle was bombed. Oxfam stands in solidarity with the CMWU, their partners and the families of the victims.

Their deaths deepen the catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Gaza where access to clean water is already severely compromised.

Dozens of engineers, civil servants and humanitarian workers have been killed in Israeli airstrikes throughout this war. They were all working on essential services to keep Gaza’s fragile infrastructure running. Despite their movements being coordinated with the Israeli authorities by the CMWU and the Palestinian Water Authority, to ensure their safety, they were still targeted.

Attacks on civilian infrastructure and those who maintain it are clear violations of international humanitarian law. Those responsible must be held to account. Such attacks are part of the crime of using starvation as a weapon of war.

Oxfam demands an independent investigation into this and other attacks on essential workers. We reiterate our calls for a ceasefire, an immediate halt to arms transfers to Israel, and the international community to ensure Israel is held accountable for its continued assault on civilians and those working to deliver life-saving services.

    This is the most biased and appalling article I have ever read on the AIM, which I thought was unbiased journalism. This article is anything but unbiased!

    I am not a fan of Charles in many facets of his life, but I am also not in favour of replacing him with the likes of our current politicians! They would knock the King into last place with their self-interest, dishonesty and manipulation of personal power!

    This article is a disgrace, not because of what it reveals, but because of the really strong bias! The journalism is no better than anything we could expect from Fox News!

    Admin, perhaps you could help Sharon out of this cul de sac and put her back on the right road… mixing metaphors… she appears to have blundered into the wrong room and made a bit of a fool of herself. And delete this after reading. Thanks.
