The heads of more than 20 aid agencies working in Gaza have called on world leaders to “urgently intervene” in the war, following the first-ever determination by a United Nations commission that Israel is perpetrating genocide in the devastated territory.
With an estimated 65,000 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks so far in Gaza, including more than 20,000 children, the agencies warned early on Wednesday that almost 1 million more people are now “on the precipice of an even deadlier period in Gaza’s story if action is not taken”.
