NEW YORK, May 15 (WAFA) – The UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan strongly condemned on Friday the Israeli widespread destruction of Palestinian houses in the Refugee Camp of Rafah, south of the Gaza Strip, adding that such acts violate the International law.... In a statement issued by UN spokesperson Fred Eckhard, the UN Secretary-General urges Israel to uphold its obligations as an occupying power by immediately halting such actions, which are tantamount to collective punishment and a clear violation of international law.
