Israel’s expanded offensive in the Gaza Strip, aimed at conquering Gaza City, is “intolerable”, the Red Cross has said, AFP reports.
“The intensification of hostilities in Gaza means more killing, more displacement, more destruction and more panic,” Christian Cardon, chief spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), told AFP.
“Gaza is a closed space, from which nobody can escape… and where access to health care, food and safe water is dwindling,” said Cardon.
“Meanwhile, the security of humanitarians is getting worse by the hour,” the spokesman added.
“This is intolerable,” Cardon said.
