THE COST OF WAR. The father of Amal al-Bayyouk, a one-year-old Palestinian child who was killed during an Israeli bombardment, holds her body before her funeral outside the morgue at Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip on Oct. 25, 2023, amid the ongoing battles between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas.
“We join the call of the UN Secretary General, hopefully, for a cessation of hostilities or for non-targeting as much as possible of civilians,” DFA Undersecretary Eduardo Jose de Vega said. While he called Hamas’ attacks as “appalling,” Guterres said those did not justify the “collective punishment” that civilians experience in Hamas-controlled Palestinian territory of Gaza.
Gunmen from the Palestinian group poured into Israel from Gaza, killing more than 1,400 people and taking 222 hostages, according to Israeli authorities. The Palestine Red Crescent said on Tuesday it had received the fourth batch of humanitarian aid, consisting of eight trucks. Israel and its allies have so far rebuffed calls for a blanket ceasefire, which the White House says would only benefit Hamas.
