Ambassador of Palestine to Nigeria, Mr Abdullah Shawesh has called on international community to support its rescue effort in Gaza.
The appeal became imperative as thousands of people were still trapped under the debris in Gaza following prolonged attack of the city by Israeli forces.
Addressing the media on the ongoing attack of Gaza by Israeli force, the envoy said since 13,000 Palestinian are reportedly missing in the Gaza Strip under Israelis siege, many of them may still be under the debris whether life or dead.
He said: “Urgent international actions are needed to set up special mechanisms and specialized teams to remove debris from homes and buildings that Israel’s army has bombed, rescue those trapped alive under the rubble and retrieve the thousands of dead bodies stuck under it.”
He noted that: “13,000 Palestinian are reportedly missing in the Gaza Strip.”
Also, the Palestinian Ambassador said the damage to critical infrastructure as it presently stands is in the region of $18.5 billion.
