Israel Uses White Phosphorous in Gaza

Human Rights Watch calls on Israel to stop its use of white phosophorous. The use of white phosophorous is clearly causing widespread injury to civilians in Gaza. See Al Jazeera report and the CNN report on Israel's use of white phosphorous and its effects on the Palestinian civilian population of Gaza. On January 12, 2009 Amnesty International called on the UN Security Council to take action to address war crimes in Gaza and to hold those responsible accountable.
