The World Health Organisation has summed up the situation in Gaza as “fear, hunger, despair, pain, and death.” Can there now be any doubt of the Tel Aviv regime’s genocidal intentions?
As carnage and destruction intensify, Israeli occupation forces have raided the besieged Nasser Hospital in the south of Gaza. With medical staff arrested, the hospital out of service and Israeli snipers nearby, Israel continues to ignore the international community as its members speak out against a ground offensive in Rafah were more than 1.5 million people are sheltering; all desperate for aid for food, for hope.
The UN humanitarian chief has warned that the planned assault on the city could lead to “slaughter.” The voices raised in opposition are, of course, loud. Chief among them is the Arab group at the UN, who has reiterated its position on the potential escalation inside Rafah, calling on the UN Security Council to play its part. But if Israelis didn’t listen when the ICJ gave its interim ruling, is there any chance of them listening now?
