이스라엘 가자(Gaza) 지구 공습 2주 째 (2014년)

이스라엘 가자(Gaza) 지구 공습 2주 째 (2014년)

 

이스라엘이 팔레스타인 가자 지구에 2주째 공습을 지속하면서 현재까지 팔레스타인에서 500명 이상이 사망하고 10만여 명의 난민이 발생하고 있다. 

 

이스라엘은 지난 17일 팔레스타인 가자 지구에 지상군을 전격 투입하였으며, 이는 1400여 명의 팔레스타인 희생자를 낳았던 지난 2008년 12월 전쟁 이후로 처음이다. 

 

유엔 안전보장이사회는 가자 지구에 대한 이스라엘의 공격을 끝내고 전쟁으로 얼룩진 가자 지구 하마스와 이스라엘 간 휴전을 중재하기 위해 노력하고 있지만, 교전은 여전히 진행 중이며 2008년 전쟁이 재현될 것이라는 우려가 증폭되고 있다. 

 

한편, 팔레스타인 문제를 보도하는 매체는 주로 AFP, Reuters 등의 유럽 통신사이며, 이스라엘-팔레스타인 분쟁의 원인 제공자 중 하나인 영국과 미국은 BBC, CNN 등을 통한 이스라엘 가자 지구 공격 및 민간인 피해에 대한 보도가 매우 소극적이어서 비판받고 있다.

Bloody Weekend in Gaza

JUL 21, 2014 |

 

Sunday was the deadliest day yet in the recent battles in the Gaza Strip, capping a bloody weekend where more than a hundred Palestinians were killed, as well as 18 Israeli soldiers, following an Israeli advance into Gaza. Israel said on Sunday it had expanded its ground offensive, and Hamas militants kept up rocket fire into the Jewish state with no sign of a diplomatic breakthrough to end the worst fighting between Israel and Hamas in two years. The New York Times reports the death toll reaching at least 425 since Israel's air offensive began on July 8. gathered here are photographs of the conflict from just the past few days.
