Israeli forces bombed a school in central Gaza yesterday sheltering displaced Palestinians, killing a number of people. So far, at least 40,334 people have been killed and 93,356 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza that began on October 7 last year.
The continued bombing of schools, houses, hospitals and infrastructure has become Israeli's habitual practice that shows the Israeli leadership and its backers have complete disregard for Palestinian lives.
Each and every day innocent people are being killed through US supplied weapons. It seems there is no serious effort on part of the Israeli backers to end the war as they are directly funding and supplying weapons for the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
Palestinians are indiscriminately bombed, shot at, imprisoned and starved. Many investigations have concluded that Palestinians are being held without charge or legal representation in Israeli prisons and detention camps.
It seems that the global community has become numb to their sufferings, pain and the injustice they have been subjected to for many decades.
The international community must take a stand to stop Israeli atrocities and the collective punishment of Palestinians and end the war. There should be concerted efforts to find a solution to the conflict.
The indifference of the international community is encouraging Israel to not accept the proposal laid out by US President Joe Biden and the UN Security Council.
There is no agreement or tangible outcomes after many rounds of talks to achieve a ceasefire and hopes about the end of Palestinians' suffering because of Israeli bombardments have gone in vain.
Several compromises presented by mediators cast doubt about the chances of success in the latest US-backed efforts to end the war.
Observers say that Israel has backtracked on a commitment to withdraw troops from Gaza and Philadelphi corridor, a narrow 14.5km stretch of land along Gaza’s southern border with Egypt.
Israel is putting forward new conditions every now and then in order to prolong the war and kill more civilians to satisfy its desire for revenge.
The suffering of Palestinians in Gaza has worsened as 60% of essential medicines and 83% of medical supplies have run out and this will lead to interruption in medical services.
Besides, more than 100,000 people are suspected to have contracted hepatitis A, while polio, a disease that has been eradicated in much of the world, is now present there, according to the WHO.
There are also nearly one million cases of acute respiratory infections, half a million cases of diarrhoea and 100,000 cases of lice and scabies.
