Medical Aid for Palestinians (Map), a UK-based relief group, is calling on the international community to take “meaningful action to enforce a ceasefire, uphold international law, and protect Palestinians from potential genocide”.

According to Al Jazeera, the group noted that Israeli forces have killed more than 41,000 people in Gaza, crippled the enclave’s healthcare system and strangled access to electricity, food, water, medicine and fuel.

“We have run out of words to describe the horrors our teams are witnessing and experiencing in Gaza,” said Fikr Shalltoot, Map’s Gaza Director.

“Frequent mass killings of civilians, the use of starvation as a weapon of war, and the systematic destruction of healthcare are an existential threat to people. Gaza is being erased in front of our eyes.”
