“Many people are still trapped under the rubble and on the streets and rescuers cannot reach them,” he stressed.
For its part, the United Nations (UN) has denounced in its reports that at least 85 percent of the population in the Gaza Strip has been internally displaced and is suffering from a lack of food, drinking water and medicine.
The multilateral organization also warned that 60 percent of the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip was damaged or destroyed.
The International Court of Justice (ICJ), in turn, accused Israel of genocide in a preliminary ruling and called on the Israeli nation to end the acts of genocide and take measures to ensure that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
So far, hostilities have continued and humanitarian aid to deal with the humanitarian catastrophe is scarce.
