The European Union expressed its "profound distress over the situation" in Jenin and demanded an impartial international probe into the recent events in the ruined Palestinian refugee camp. "The EU presidency believes it is absolutely necessary to shed light on the facts and asks that an international and impartial inquiry looks into what has happened in the Jenin refugee camp," said a statement from Spain, the current holder of the rotating EU presidency. While no official investigation has begun, on Thursday, after touring the ruins of the devastated camp, UN special envoy Terje Roed-Larsen spoke of the situation in Jenin as "morally repugnant" and unlike anything ever seen before, even in war zones and earthquakes.
I love that terminology. I get "distressed" when I have to go to the bathroom really, really bad and there's no place available. Larsen's wrinkling his nose and waving the odor away and saying this particular war zone is worse than any other war zone. |
