Itamaraty accuses Israel of ‘atrocities’ and charges international action

Ten people starved in the last 24 hours in the Gaza Strip. This raises the number of fatal victims of inanition in recent days to 111. Eighty of them are children, according to the Ministry of Health of Palestinian territory.

MRE says there is “routine” violence against the Palestinian civilian population, “not restricted to the Gaza Strip and extending to West Bank.” “These horrors are added continuous violations of international law, such as the annexation of territories by force and the expansion of illegal settlements,” he adds.

Brazil charges action. “The international community cannot remain inert in the face of ongoing atrocities,” says the agency.

More than 100 humanitarian aid entities have released a manifesto in which they warn that “mass hunger spreads through the Gaza Strip”. Israel, who controls any supply entry, says he acts to prevent food from being diverted by Hamas and denies responsibility for the lack of food in the territory.
