UN Human Rights spokesperson Jeremy Laurence says attacks on civilians in Gaza around an aid distribution site 'constitute a grave breach of international law and a war crime'. Speaking during a press briefing in Geneva, the spokesperson echoes the earlier statement of UN rights chief Volker Turk which dubbed the 'deadly attacks' a war crime. Rescuers in the Palestinian territory said Israeli fire targeting civilians near an aid distribution centre in the southern city of Rafah killed 27 people on Tuesday, raising an earlier toll.
