Statement about Rafah from Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide

'We condemned yesterday’s attack against a tented camp where many civilians were killed. We expect the incident to be investigated as Prime Minister Netanyahu has promised. No place in Gaza is safe. For more than seven months, people have lived under horrific conditions.'

'The International Court of Justice, the world’s principal judicial organ, has ordered an immediate halt to the military offensive or actions leading to the physical destruction of the people in Gaza.  The UN Security Council has called for an emergency session tonight. I strongly encourage the security council to honor its responsibility and act. The situation is unbearable, the war must end', said Eide.
