Emergenza Gaza
14 January 2009, 1700 hours
“What I saw today was shocking. It is unacceptable to see so many wounded people. Their lives must be spared and the security of those who care for them guaranteed.”
- Jakob Kellenberger, President of the ICRC, during a visit to the Gaza Strip on 13 January
The Israeli military operation has entered its nineteenth day. Israeli air, sea and ground forces continue to surround populated areas of the Gaza Strip, and the Gaza and North Gaza Governorates remain isolated from the rest of the territory. The humanitarian crisis is intensifying and the number of Palestinian civilian casualties is increasing. |
