Australia’s Foreign Minister Penny Wong has condemned recent “unacceptable deaths of innocent civilians” in recent Israeli attacks in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Wong did not specify which attacks she was referring to but said many were “near schools”. The UN says eight schools being used as shelters have been attacked in Gaza in the past 10 days.

“Australia has been calling for a ceasefire for eight months,” Wong added in her post on X.
