The war in Gaza is reminiscent of the siege of Sarajevo.
According to Anatoly, the President of Slovenia, Natasa Pirek Musar, stated that Israel’s attack against civilians in the food queue around humanitarian aid trucks evoked the same feeling as the shelling of the Markale market in Sarajevo during the Bosnian war.
In an article on X social network, he wrote: “The events in Gaza, where lives were lost while waiting for essential humanitarian aid, evoked a similar sense of shock and sadness. “How many more lives must be lost just waiting for food.”
Pirek Musar said: “The world is witnessing the staggering number of casualties of more than 30,000 people. This terrible number reminds us of the heavy responsibility of those who commit these violent acts. It is very sad to see history repeating itself in its most horrific manifestations. As a young journalist who once witnessed the horrors of the Sarajevo market attack, the memory of the dead still haunts me.”
The shelling of the Markale market was one of the bloodiest massacres carried out by Bosnian Serb forces during the siege of Sarajevo from April 1992 to December 1995. Market shoppers, people in bread lines, children playing in schoolyards, and other civilians were targeted. were placed
Early Thursday, Israeli forces shelled Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid south of Gaza City in the al-Nablisi district, killing at least 112 and injuring 760, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
