“We raise our voice loudly, stop the war on our people,” said Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh, Al Jazeera reports.

At a weekly government meeting, he demanded that safe humanitarian corridors in Gaza should immediately be opened to bring food, medicine, water and fuel inside the besieged enclave.

Shtayyeh noted that 20 aid trucks per day were not enough for the people of Gaza to meet their basic needs.
