More than 500 people rallied in front of the Red Cross office in Brussels to call for the release of all the Israeli hostages detained in Gaza and to denounce the failure of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to fulfill its humanitarian role.
”Bring them home now,” they shouted as they showed pictures of the people kidnapped by Hamas terrorists during the 7th of October massacre in southern Israel. Photos of the hostages were also glued to the windows of the Red Cross building.
‘’Humanitarian commitment means having access to the hostages, it means checking under what conditions these hostages are being held, whether they have everything they need, whether these children, babies, a newborn, this week, a new hostage was born there, and we can’t understand why there isn’t the slightest sign of humanity on the part of Hamas, which continues to hold children, babies, elderly women, people who need medicine,’’ said Yves Oschinsky, president of CCOJB, the umbrella representative group of Jewish organizations in Belgium.
