“Horrifying scenes” are unfolding in the Gaza town of Beit Lahia, where the Israeli regime’s airstrikes overnight and into Sunday killed dozens of Palestinians, most of them women and children, says the United Nations (UN).
UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland said in a Sunday statement that “nowhere is safe in Gaza,” Press TV reported.
He said, “The nightmare in Gaza is intensifying. Horrifying scenes are unfolding in the northern Strip amidst conflict, relentless Israeli strikes and an ever-worsening humanitarian crisis.”
“This war must end,” Wennesland said, adding that the displacement of Palestinians must cease, and civilians must be protected wherever they are.
Gaza's Health Ministry said that at least 87 people were killed or missing in the Israeli airstrikes on Beit Lahia.
Israeli forces also bombed Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, causing damage to the facility’s water tanks and electricity grid, according to the hospital’s director Hussam Abu Safia.
The attack has severely disrupted medical services there, Tor Wennesland added.
