The girls were seemingly trapped on the roof of the house as extensive bombing left the area in flames. The Israeli military’s ongoing assault on the Gaza Strip has reached its 68th consecutive day, with intensified airstrikes hitting various parts of the region, resulting in an escalating death toll.
The latest announced figures indicate that the brutal Israeli war has claimed the lives of 18,412 Palestinians, with 50,100 reported injuries, most of them being children and women. The conflict has also caused massive infrastructure damage, contributing to an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
United Nations Adopts Resolution for Immediate Ceasefire in Gaza
Editor’s Note: The United Nations General Assembly approved a resolution on Tuesday evening, calling for an “immediate humanitarian ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip.
The resolution, presented by 21 Arab countries and supported by a significant number of member states, was passed with a majority of 153 in favor, 10 against, and 23 abstentions.
The resolution calls for “an immediate cessation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip for humanitarian reasons” and reiterates the General Assembly’s call for all parties to comply with their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law, especially regarding the protection of civilians.
The resolution, titled “Protection of Civilians and Adherence to Legal and Humanitarian Obligations,” also urges “the immediate and unconditional release of all detainees and ensuring the access of humanitarian assistance.”
This marks the second such resolution since the outbreak of the Israeli war on Gaza on October 7th of last year. In the same month, on the 28th, the General Assembly approved a resolution calling for an “immediate and sustainable humanitarian ceasefire” in the Gaza Strip. The resolution, presented by nearly 50 countries, passed with 120 votes in favor, 14 against, and 45 abstentions.
