Field Update

 

On Wednesday, 28 July 2010, Taiseer Dhair was wounded as a result of gunfire during a wedding party in the town of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. This incident is part of the state of security chaos and misuse of weapons currently plaguing the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT).

 

According to investigations conducted by the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), at approximately 22:30 on Wednesday, 28 July 2010, Taiseer Bakr 'Elayan Dhair, 14, was admitted into Abu Yousef al-Najjar Hospital in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip after he was wounded by a bullet to the left leg. Dhair was wounded by gunfire from an unknown gunman in the wedding party of Dhair's relative, Abed Rabbu 'Odwan. The party was held in 'Awni Dhair street in al-Junaina neighborhood in Rafah. Later, Dhair was transferred to European Gaza hospital, where medical sources described his wounds as moderate.

 

PCHR is concerned over the increase of incidents related to gunfire in parties recently, after they had decreased in the past two years. PCHR calls upon the Attorney-General to seriously investigate such incidents and bring perpetrators to justice.
