France expresses its deep concern about the extremely serious situation in northern Gaza, where the Israeli army has been carrying out a military operation for several days with a heavy human toll and has issued evacuation orders affecting the entire population.
France recalls that any forced displacement of a civilian population would constitute a serious violation of international law.
France utterly condemns the Israeli strikes that targeted several civilian infrastructures, where displaced people had found refuge, in Jabalia, Deir el-Balah and the Shati and Nuseirat camps. These attacks on civilians are unacceptable.
France calls on Israel to ensure the permanent protection of all civilians and facilitate people's immediate access to humanitarian aid, in accordance with its obligations under international law, with which everyone is required to comply.
