Tor Wennesland the UN Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process‚ spoke out against the ongoing violence in Gaza. His statement came after Israeli airstrikes in Beit Lahiya yesterday which led to many civilian deaths
Wennesland pointed out that the recent weeks have seen more intense military actions. These have caused many civilian deaths and stopped aid from getting to people in northern Gaza. The Israeli military said it stepped up attacks in northern Gaza about 2-3 weeks ago. They did this to stop Hamas fighters from coming back together
The Gaza health ministry gave a grim update: 87 people were either dead or couldnt be found after the attack on Beit Lahiya. This is one of the worst single-day losses in months. Israels military says its looking into what happened
Gaza health officials say that since Israel made its attacks stronger hundreds of people have died. The Israeli military is checking reports about the Beit Lahiya event‚ which caused so many deaths
This follows weeks of intensified operations resulting in scores of civilian fatalities and near total lack of humanitarian aid reaching populations in the north
The situation in Gaza keeps getting worse – with no clear end in sight. As attacks continue and aid cant get through‚ the human cost of this conflict is growing day by day
