AFTER 36 days of Israeli aggression and genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, more than 11,000 people have been killed, at least 70 per cent of whom were women and children.
The Israeli occupation forces have bombed civilian homes, hospitals, mosques, churches, schools, and entire neighbourhoods with white phosphorus, which is illegal under international law.
Even the UN installations and premises have been targeted and destroyed, with scores of UN employees killed in the process — not to mention tens of health workers and journalists.
