RAMALLAH: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates emphasized the urgent need for an immediate ceasefire, rather than only diagnosing the consequences and dimensions of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
“What is required now is an immediate ceasefire, and not just diagnosing the humanitarian catastrophe.”
The Ministry said, in a statement, that the mission of international officials, the United Nations, and the international community is not limited to publishing more statistics about Palestinian victims, warning of the humanitarian crisis, expressing their concerns, and directing demands to the occupying state that does not listen, but rather assuming their legal responsibilities.
“The moral imperative is to cease fire immediately and take the necessary practical measures to protect civilians and secure their basic needs,” it said.
The Ministry explained that at a time of official and popular international demands to stop the ongoing genocide against people in Gaza, and continuous warning
s about the consequences and dimensions of the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe there, the occupying state continues to commit more massacres against Palestinian civilians, claiming the lives of nearly 200 citizens per day on average in the Gaza Strip.
