At a time when Israel is preparing for a terrestrial offensive in Gaza, thousands of Palestinians are fleeing south
“This is only the beginning” of Israeli operations in Gaza, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned on Friday on the War between Hamas and Israel on Friday and which has already killed thousands of people.
About 1900 Palestinians, most civilians, including 614 children, according to the Palestinian authorities, were killed in the Gaza Strip. On the Israeli side, 1,300 people died.
In addition, calls are multiplying around the world to avoid a “humanitarian disaster”, after the appeal launched by Israel to evacuate the northern part of the Gaza Strip, which concerns around 1.1 million inhabitants, out of a total of 2.4 million.
“Even wars have rules,” said UN secretary general António Guterres, demanding “immediate” humanitarian access to the Gaza Strip.
António Guterres said that the displacement of more than a million people through an area of war densely populated towards an area without food, without water or housing, while the whole territory is in siege, is extremely dangerous and sometimes simply impossible stressing that the war has … rules.
He described a “health system on the verge of collapse”, “overflowing morgues” and “a water crisis”, while several NGOs also requested the opening of humanitarian corridors.
