Press releases, Reports & Disclosures for RAK Co. for White Cement & Construction Materials
The United Nations (UN) expressed concern on Tuesday about the civilian casualties resulting from Israel's operation to rescue four hostages in Gaza. The UN rights office (OHCHR) suggested that actions by Israeli forces might constitute war crimes, emphasizing the significant civilian impact of the operation in Nuseirat. The raid, which aimed to free hostages kidnapped from the Nova festival in southern Israel on October 7, resulted in at least 274 Palestinian deaths and 698 injuries, according to Gaza's health ministry. The UN questioned whether the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution under the laws of war were followed. Additionally, cross-border violence between Israel and Lebanon escalated, with reports of civilian and fighter casualties on both sides. An Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed a civilian, while Hizbollah fighters were also reported dead following Israeli military operations. Hizbollah claimed several attacks on Israeli positions in retaliation. In a separate incident, a boat carrying over 200 migrants sank off Yemen, resulting in at least 49 deaths, primarily women and children. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) highlighted the ongoing risks faced by migrants traveling from the Horn of Africa to Yemen, noting a significant increase in migrant arrivals in recent years despite the dangers. The IOM called for urgent cooperation to address migration challenges and ensure the safety of migrants.
