The Red Cross on Wednesday voiced alarm over military activities at the Gaza Strip’s largest hospital that has been entered by Israeli forces who say they are tracking a Hamas command centre.
“We are extremely concerned about the impact on sick and wounded people, medical staff, and civilians,” the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said in a statement sent to AFP, insisting “all measures to avoid any consequences on them must be taken”.
WHO chief said he was ‘extremely worried’ after the raid.
The head of the UN children’s agency decried Wednesday the “devastating” scenes she witnessed during a visit to war-ravaged Gaza, urging the parties to the conflict to “stop this horror”.
“What I saw and heard was devastating. They have endured repeated bombardment, loss and displacement. Inside the Strip, there is nowhere safe for Gaza’s one million children to turn,” UNICEF chief Catherine Russell said in a statement after visiting among other things a hospital in the south of the Palestinian territory.
