Red Cross calls for food aid to enter Gaza

The President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mirjana Spoljaric, stressed that every possible effort must be made to maintain the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip so that lives can be saved and humanitarian aid can enter.

The international official pointed out in a statement, today, Monday, that "the ceasefire agreement saved countless lives, and provided a beacon of hope amid unimaginable suffering, and any disintegration of the momentum built over the past six weeks would lead people back to despair."

“As a neutral humanitarian intermediary, our teams helped advance the ceasefire agreement by safely carrying out these vital operations at the request of the parties. We have never wavered from our commitment to this work,” she added.
