A situation criticized by the Pope and the UN

Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that he wants to intensify the fighting in the days to come, in a war which is not about to end in his own words. These comments were made the same day when families of the hostages still in the hands of Hamas came to show their anger and boo the Israeli Prime Minister in Parliament. Families are demanding the release of their loved ones as quickly as possible. In Gaza precisely, Netanyahu’s promise to step up strikes is already being felt: according to the Hamas Ministry of Health, an Israeli strike left twelve dead in a small village, eighteen in Khan Younes (Palestine). On the 80th day of this war, the emergency is also humanitarian. The UN and the Pope denounce a desperate situation for civilians and displaced people.
