Over 2 million civilians are trapped in the Gaza Strip. The immediate imperative must be to save lives & preserve humanity. Healthcare, water, and electricity must be immediately restored. Civilian life must be protected & respected on all sides. 👉 bit.ly/3SomMnf

My urgent plea to the parties to the conflict in Israel and Gaza.   @ICRC is ready with medicine and other relief items. Entry must be granted, and our teams in Gaza must be allowed to work safely and effectively. The situation is critical.
