THIRSTY, HUNGRY, HOMELESS. Smoke billows from the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarem during an Israeli army operation in the north of the occupied West Bank on Thursday. The death toll climbed 29 as Israel pressed a large-scale military operation in the occupied territory for a second day, despite UN concerns it is ‘fueling an already explosive situation.
Msuya’s comments came after the UN had to halt the movement of aid and aid workers within Gaza on Monday due to a new Israeli evacuation order for the Deir al-Balah area, which had become a hub for its workers. Israel’s war against Palestinian militant group Hamas has come under increasing scrutiny as the civilian death toll rises, but international powers including the United States have failed so far to help negotiate a ceasefire.
“What we have witnessed over the past 11 months… calls into question the world’s commitment to the international legal order that was designed to prevent these tragedies,” Msuya said.Calling on the Security Council and wider international community to use its leverage to end the war, Msuya urged the release of hostages and “a sustained ceasefire in Gaza.”
The vaccination rollout will also cover southern and northern Gaza, which will each get their own three-day pauses, Peeperkorn told reporters, adding that Israel had agreed to allow an additional day if required.“We stress the critical importance for all parties to adhere to the commitments that have been made,” Michael Ryan, WHO deputy director-general, told the UN Security Council.
