UN Special Rap calls out EU's Ukraine-Palestine double standard over supply cuts

Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories called on Ursula Von Der Leyen, president of the EU Comisison, to make a statement over Israel cutting off electricity, water and food supplies in Gaza.

In a post, she calls out the double standards of the president, saying “I look forward to the same declaration by President Von Der Leyen  on Israel's cutting of electricity, water and food in Gaza.”

The comments were made in response to Leyen’s speech about Russia’s attacks against civilian Ukranian infrastructure and electricity, which she called war crimes.

“If not, people could think that European institutions do not value the protection of Palestinian children, women and men as much as that of Ukrainians,” she added.
