VP/HR — Children shot in Gaza
10.2.2012
Question for written answer E-001674/2012
to the Commission (Vice-President/High Representative)
Rule 117
Linda McAvan (S&D)
I am writing on behalf of a number of constituents who have raised concerns over the reported shooting of Palestinian children by Israeli soldiers close to the Eastern Gaza Border.
Allegedly in less than a year 30 children were shot, the majority of whom were collecting gravel to sell to builders for concrete. In most of these cases the child reported that they were outside of the exclusion zone.
- —Is the Vice-President/High Representative aware of these shootings? What action is the Vice-President/High Representative taking or intending to take for the protection of these children?
