Irish Foreign Ministry Calls for Ending Israeli Slaughter of Civilians, Children in Gaza.
Irish Foreign Minister Michael Martin stated that there is an “urgent need” to end the Israeli war, which has continued for 450 consecutive days in the Gaza Strip, emphasizing the immediate necessity to stop the slaughter of civilians and children in Gaza. Martin called in a press statement on Sunday to stop the Israeli genocide against the Gaza Strip, noting that : “We need a ceasefire in Gaza and we need to increase humanitarian aid to civilians.” Martin expressed his concern about reports that the last major hospital in the northern Gaza Strip (Kamal Adwan Hospital) was out of service due to the Israeli assault on the hospital where the Israeli occupation soldiers burnt its building after arresting doctors, the wounded and patients. The Israeli genocide waged by Israeli occupation forces on the Gaza Strip continues for the 450th consecutive day, amid the doubling of citizens’ suffering due to the ongoing raids, the bitter cold and the harsh living conditions of the displaced in tents in the harsh winter. The death toll from the Israeli genocide has risen to 45,514 victims and 108,189 injuries since October 7, 2023, according to the daily report issued by the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza today, Sunday.
