UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, raised concerns about the potential escalation of violence from Gaza to Lebanon, describing it as “potentially apocalyptic.” Griffiths, whose term is ending soon, warned of a dangerous flashpoint that could have devastating consequences.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported four massacres in the Gaza Strip by the Israeli Occupation Forces, resulting in 60 deaths and 140 injuries within 24 hours. The Ministry expressed concerns about trapped victims and hindered rescue efforts by the IOF.
The total death toll from the ongoing Israeli aggression has reached 37,718 martyrs and 86,377 injuries since October 7, 2023. The situation remains critical, with escalating violence and humanitarian crises.
