According to the health ministry in Gaza more than 8,000 had been killed in the Palestinian territory since October 7. The health ministry told AFP that more than 8,000 including children were killed in Gaza in Israeli brutal airstrikes.
Earlier, the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on Saturday called on all parties to act to stop the “intolerable” human suffering of civilian population in the Gaza Strip.
“This is a disastrous failing that the international community must not tolerate,” said Mirjana Spoljaric President of ICRC, as Israel declared its war on Gaza had “entered a new phase” with its massive bombing of the Gaza Strip.
Similarly, UN chief Antonio Guterres on Saturday also criticized the “unprecedented escalation” by Israel of the bombardments in Gaza, and reiterated a call for an immediate humanitarian truce for the delivery of aid and help.
In a statement, Antonio Guterres said “I was encouraged by what seemed to be a growing consent for the need of at least a humanitarian pause in the Middle East,”. “Regrettably, instead I was astonished by an unparalleled escalation of attacks, undermining humanitarian purposes.”
