GENEVA

The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees on Tuesday received and reviewed Anadolu's book The Evidence, which documents Israeli actions against Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, 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. He expressed his gratitude for the present.

The Evidence

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 Oct. 7, 2023.

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 the Gaza Strip.

Israel has waged an unrelenting offensive on the Palestinian enclave since a cross-border attack by Hamas last October which claimed 1,200 lives.

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