Israeli PM says it is ‘possible and necessary to continue until victory’ in televised press conference, days after South Africa launches genocide case against Israel in The Hague
The clock is “ticking fast towards famine” in Gaza, the head of the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees has said, as Israel’s war on the territory entered its 100th day on Sunday.
Without directly blaming Israel or Hamas for what he said was a “man-made disaster”, Philippe Lazzarini, the boss of UNRWA, said in a statement late Saturday the crisis had been “compounded by dehumanizing language and the use of food, water and fuel as instruments of war.”
The plight of children in Gaza is especially heartbreaking. An entire generation of children is traumatized and will take years to heal. Thousands have been killed, maimed, and orphaned. Hundreds of thousands are deprived of education. Their future is in jeopardy, with far-reaching and long-lasting consequences.
