    From 2015: VP/HR — Gaza Strip and bombs with depleted uranium

    March 3, 2015

    "There is now enough convincing data to prove that Israel has repeatedly used depleted uranium [#DU] weaponry. Such was the case in the large-scale massacre that took place in the #GazaStrip in August 2014.

    "These weapons cause #cancers and #foetal malformations in the populations affected, which may take on epidemic proportions. In #Iraq, in the city of #Fallujah, where these bombs were launched in industrial quantities by the International Coalition led by the# UnitedStates, 52% of children today are born with #deformities.

    "The lethal effects of #radioactivity caused by explosions and subsequent fires, including cancer of the lungs and pleura, can persist for centuries in the #environment and particularly in #aquifers. We are therefore on the verge of another humanitarian catastrophe in #Palestine and in particular in the #Gaza Strip, where thousands of tons of depleted uranium bombs were dropped with the effects that have already been documented.

    "In view of this situation, what is the Vice-President/High Representative thinking of doing to pressure Israel into assuming its responsibilities for this crime against humanity, and what help can the Vice-President/High Representative offer to the Palestinian authorities to carry out epidemiological monitoring, which also includes all EU citizens who have moved to the territory since then?"
