Indian company stops uniforms sales to Israeli police over regime's atrocities in Gaza
An Indian apparel company has decided to stop selling uniforms to the Israeli police in protest against the occupying regime’s atrocities against Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Maryan Apparel in the southern state of Kerala said it took the decision on Wednesday, a day after Israel's fatal strike on a hospital in Gaza, because the company “doesn't support attacks on civilians.”
“The hospital attack really disturbed us. Children, women, the common people are dying,” company director Thomas Olickal told The National on Thursday.
"They’re refusing food, electricity, and hospital treatment. Nobody can accept this. Fighting with two armies is OK, but killing common people is unacceptable. It is a moral decision,” he said.
The firm, which has been making 100,000 uniforms a year for the Israeli police since 2015, said it will fulfill its existing commitments to Israel, which end in December but will not take new orders.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the Israeli regime's decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
Tel Aviv has also blocked water, food, and electricity to Gaza, plunging the coastal strip into a humanitarian crisis.
The regime has further ordered 1.1 million people in the north of Gaza to evacuate and move south of the coastal sliver.
However, it has continued to rain down bombs on the south, killing large numbers of Palestinians.
The United Nations says about half of the Palestinians in Gaza have been made homeless, still trapped inside the besieged enclave.
The world body’s human rights office says Israel’s complete siege of Gaza, combined with the evacuation order, could amount to a forcible transfer of civilians, breaching international law.
