Dozens of martyrs and wounded due to the ongoing occupation aggression against Gaza Strip

Occupied Al-Quds, (ST) – Dozens of Palestinians were martyred and injured on Tuesday as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip for the 172nd day, despite the Security Council yesterday adopting a resolution calling for a ceasefire during the month of Ramadan.

Wafa News Agency reported that during the past hours, the occupation warplanes bombed homes in Rafah, south of Gaza Strip, leading to the death of 17 Palestinians and wounding dozens. It bombed homes in Beit Lahia and various areas in the north of Gaza Strip, which led to the death of a number of Palestinians and the injury of others, while the occupation mechanisms stormed into the school district in central Beit Hanoun, north of the Strip.

The occupation also continues its siege and military operations at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City for the ninth day, while Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis, south of Gaza Strip, has been out of service since Israeli soldiers  forced hospital staff and the wounded to evacuate it.

Yesterday, the Security Council adopted a resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza Strip during the month of Ramadan and the removal of all obstacles to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid, with the support of 14 countries, while the United States abstained from voting, and its representative to the United Nations, Linda Thomas Greenfield, said: It is a “non-binding resolution.”

Russian Deputy Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyansky expressed his surprise at Greenfield’s statements. He said in a post on Telegram: We were surprised by the American colleague’s words that this resolution is not binding, and we categorically oppose this point of view regarding Security Council resolutions.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry called on the member states of the Security Council to fulfill their responsibilities to implement the resolution immediately. It stressed the importance of intensifying efforts to achieve a permanent and sustainable ceasefire, and to secure the entry of aid into the Strip to prevent the continuation of the disaster.

Yesterday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced that the number of victims of the ongoing occupation aggression against Gaza Strip since the seventh of last October had risen to 32,333 martyrs and 74,694 wounded.
