British Palestinian Surgeon Testifies on War Crimes in Gaza
British Palestinian surgeon Ghassan Abu Sitta, who volunteered with Doctors Without Borders in Gaza during the recent Israel-Hamas war, has given testimony to a British war crimes investigation unit. Abu Sitta's testimony focused on attacks on health facilities, including a deadly blast at al-Ahli hospital. He also treated patients with burn wounds consistent with white phosphorus shelling. Abu Sitta hopes the investigation will lead to prosecutions, and the International Criminal Court has prioritized a probe into possible crimes by both Hamas militants and Israeli forces.

War Crimes Allegations: Sudanese Paramilitary and Militias Under Scrutiny in West Darfur
Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNN
Sudanese paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied Arab militias have been accused of executing dozens of people and destroying a town in West Darfur, according to a report by Human Rights Watch (HRW). The attack on Misterei resulted in the summary execution of at least 28 ethnic Massalit, as well as the killing and injuring of numerous civilians. The RSF fighters, supported by Arab militias, targeted non-Arab communities, committing what HRW describes as war crimes. The conflict in Sudan has escalated, with widespread violence and reports of atrocities in West Darfur. HRW has called for an investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) and for sanctions against RSF and Arab militia leaders.
