Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, called for “a ceasefire now” in the Gaza Strip, given the disproportionate impact on women and children in Gaza, where they account for 70% of the victims. He stressed the need for a ceasefire and a pursuit of a political resolution that offers a way out of this “mess/tragedy.” “Ceasefire now!” he said in a post on X.

The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, previously warned that Gaza is becoming a graveyard for children, stating that hundreds of girls and boys are being killed and injured every day as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression.
Monday, as the Israeli occupation forces continue their war against Palestinian people in Gaza Strip for the 73rd day in a row, dozens of Palestinian civilians were killed, including a journalist and her family, in early morning bombings on several areas throughout the Gaza Strip. Journalist Haneen Ali al-Qashtane was killed along with members of her family, a total of eight people, and dozens were injured after warplanes bombed their house in Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, health sources said this morning that more than 100 people were killed in massacres in Jabalia while a similar number of people remain under the rubble, along with at least 20 wounded. A woman was killed and others were injured in a bombing that targeted Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis.
Israeli warplanes launched violent strikes on the northern areas of Khan Younis, south of the Gaza Strip, while heavy artillery shelling targeted all areas of the city, resulting in the death and injury of dozens of civilians. More than 19,000 people were killed, most of them children and women, in 73 days of Israeli massacres in the Gaza Strip, and more than 52,000 were injured.
