The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees said (UNRWA) Philippe Lazzarini said that US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken should call for an immediate ceasefire in… Gaza.
Lazzarini pointed out that an immediate ceasefire could prevent a disaster, calling for an end to the siege imposed on Gaza and allowing humanitarian aid to flow into the Strip without restrictions.
He stressed that the little aid arriving through the Rafah crossing is much less than what is required.
The Commissioner-General of UNRWA pointed out that 700,000 people now live in about 150 UNRWA buildings throughout the Gaza Strip.
For his part, spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip, Hisham Muhanna, said that there is no safe place in Gaza.
He pointed out that thousands of civilians in the northern part of Gaza are heading to the south of the Strip on foot, in light of their lack of water, medicine, and basic needs.
Muhanna called for the necessity of stopping hostilities so that the people of Gaza can regain their ability to continue.
Since October 27, the scope of ground battles and direct confrontations between the Israeli army and fighters has expanded Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades And Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip.
For 34 days, the Israeli army has been waging a war on Gaza, during which it destroyed residential neighborhoods on top of their residents, killing more than 10,569 Palestinians, including 4,324 children and 2,823 women, and wounding 26,475.
