WASHINGTON: US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller on Wednesday said that Washington is reviewing an Amnesty International report regarding use of US-made arms in Gaza killings.

The Amnesty International report issued on Tuesday said trashes of US-made Joint Direct Attack Munitions were found in the rubble of destroyed homes in Gaza that killed 43 civilians, including 19 children.

The organization found that these air strikes were either direct attacks on civilians or civilian objects or indiscriminate attacks and called them to be investigated under war crimes.

Amnesty International’s experts and remote sensing analysts examined satellite imagery, as well as photographs taken by the organization’s workers of the destruction of the targeted sites and of fragments of weapons recovered from the rubble.

According to Gaza health ministry, Israel since October 7, has carried out a relentless bombardment and a ground offensive in Gaza that has killed more than 16,200 people, most of them women and children.

The situation in Gaza remains dire, with hundreds of thousands of civilians fleeing southward, facing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

United Nations refugee chief Filippo Grandi has warned that forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza into other states in the region would be catastrophic.
