20 February 2009Doha - Al Jazeera English releases a new programme, A Crime of War? as part of its weekly programme Focus on Gaza. The programme comes as human rights investigators continue to look into allegations that Israeli soldiers may have committed crimes of war during their Gaza military campaign. A Crime of War? will premiere on Al Jazeera English at 14:30 GMT today, and run through the week.
The programme will focus on the story of an alleged war crime that occurred during the war on Gaza in the small village of Khuza'a, approximately 500 metres from the Israeli border. Interviews with village residents tell the story of a Gazan woman who was killed with a single shot to the head while waving a white flag as she led children to safety. A Crime of War? will also examine the aftermath of the incident, including interviews with experts on International Humanitarian Law who offer their evaluation of whether a crime of war was committed. "Al Jazeera's coverage of the War on Gaza was unparalleled and, as a network, we remain committed to reporting on every facet of life in Gaza," said Mike Dillon, Head of Current Affairs for AJE.
"The war may be over, but human suffering continues on a massive scale. I believe that our programme, A Crime of War?, will provide a thorough investigation into these war crimes allegations."
