ISRAEL’S military actions in Gaza are increasingly endangering the very existence of Palestinians as a people, the United Nations human rights agency warned today.
More than 1,000 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel ended a ceasefire last month that had lasted eight weeks, according to UN figures.
At least 26 Palestinian lives have been lost and more than 100 people were wounded in the last 24 hours, the coastal territory’s Health Ministry reported today, as the Israeli military issued an urgent evacuation warning to residents of several northern Gaza districts.
