In less than 12 hours, the Israeli occupation army committed horrific massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip, killing over 100 of them, including about 35 children, the Palestinian Information Center reported.
“These massacres have been carried out in full view of the mediators as well as and the international community which continues to stand silent and incapable of taking meaningful action to stop the ongoing bloodshed that has persisted for more than two years,” civil defense spokesman Mahmoud Basal said in a statement on Wednesday.
Basal affirmed that Gaza’s civil defense teams continue to conduct rescue operations and recover victims from beneath the rubble despite facing acute shortages in resources.
“Civil defense teams are making tremendous efforts to reach civilians trapped beneath the rubble, while hospitals are overwhelmed with critically wounded patients amid dire conditions and severe shortages of medical items and fuel,” Basal said.
“The situation in Gaza is a stain on the conscience of humanity and reflects that the international community is complicit in these violations,” he underlined.
He called for immediate international action to end the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and establish safe and sustained humanitarian corridors to facilitate the entry of fuel, equipment, and essential supplies needed for rescue operations and hospital services.
