Unicef Chief Calls For Ceasefire In Israel-Hamas Conflict

POSTED ON November 14, 2023 •   GLOBAL NEWS      BY Segun Adewole

UNICEF's director, Catherine Russell, urged Israel and Hamas to end the tragedy, describing the devastating impact on Gaza's people.

Gaza's million children face a dire situation with no safe haven, Russell stated.

Russell condemned both parties for grave violations against children, including killing, abductions, attacks on schools, hospitals, and denial of humanitarian access.

The call for an immediate cessation of hostilities emphasizes the urgent need to address the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The UNICEF chief on-the-ground observations stress the necessity for international intervention and efforts to protect the vulnerable population.

As the conflict's toll rises, the international community faces mounting pressure to act swiftly and decisively for a cessation of hostilities.

Gaza Hospital Bombing

Recall that the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict witnessed a tragic incident: an alleged Israeli air attack on Gaza’s Al-Ahli Arab Hospital.

Resulting in a high casualty count, details for the strike are debated, but the devastating impact cannot be ignored.

The air attack caused at least 500 deaths, the deadliest incident in Gaza during the conflict, according to Palestinian officials.

Hundreds remain trapped in the rubble, emphasizing the tragedy’s magnitude, as the hospital was already overwhelmed with displaced individuals.

Hamas claims most victims sought refuge in the hospital, condemning the attack as a “massacre.”

Egypt and Saudi Arabia condemn the attack, but Western leaders refrain from directly blaming Israel.

Israeli authorities attribute the strike to a misfired rocket by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a claim vehemently rejected by the group.
