The United Nations has issued a strong condemnation of the recent events in Gaza, where dozens of people have been reported killed by Israeli fire. The incident took place on Monday, near a crowded UN-run school in the Gaza Strip. The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) described the current situation as a “death trap,” as the violence continues to escalate in the region.
Israeli officials have stated that their forces were responding to militants who had fired mortar shells from the vicinity of the school. They have emphasized that the use of force was necessary to protect Israeli civilians from the ongoing attacks.
On the other hand, Palestinian authorities and human rights groups have accused Israel of excessive and disproportionate use of force. They argue that such actions have resulted in a significant number of civilian casualties and have called for an immediate halt to the violence.
The UN has called for an independent investigation into the incident and urged all parties to respect international humanitarian law. They have highlighted the need to ensure the protection of civilians and the provision of humanitarian assistance to those in need.
The situation in Gaza remains tense, with both sides showing no signs of backing down. The international community continues to monitor the developments closely, with concerns growing over the escalating violence and its impact on the civilian population.
