Local Palestinians are suffering amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This is leading some to allege violations of the 'rules of war.'
As a ground invasion of Gaza by Israel looms, critics of the Jewish state say innocent Palestinians are suffering.
This is leading some to allege violations of the"rules of war," like targeting civilians and collective punishment. Hamas has killed women and children, taken innocent civilians hostage and hidden amongst the people of Gaza — all violations of rules of war. "We need the necessities of life. Electricity. Water. Food. Drink. There is no water. There is no water at all. Medicines for children. Food. Drink. There is nothing," said Eyad Khalil, a 40-year-old Palestinian trying to buy food for the eight people in his family.
