Tokyo, Reuters – After the cowardly Hamas attack on October 7, Israel has been conducting consecutive air strikes on the Gaza Strip. These strikes have claimed the lives of thousands of people. Meanwhile, several countries around the world have sent humanitarian aid to assist those affected by the conflict.
Japan has now called for a temporary suspension of the fighting to allow humanitarian access to the encircled Gaza Strip. This information was provided by the Japanese Foreign Ministry.
According to a statement released by the ministry on Thursday, a request for permission to allow humanitarian access to the enclave was made during a meeting on Wednesday night between Japan’s Foreign Minister and Israel’s Ambassador in Japan.
Russia and China vetoed the United Nations resolution proposed by the United States
On Wednesday, Russia and China vetoed the United Nations Security Council’s resolution, which was prepared by the United States, regarding the conflict between Israel and Palestinian militants Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The purpose of the resolution was to address the deteriorating humanitarian crisis in Gaza and call for a cessation of violence to allow aid to reach.
The United Arab Emirates also abstained from voting, while 10 members voted in favor, and two were absent. Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, said, ‘If this resolution genuinely focuses on the humanitarian situation, as it was presented, a common note will not be signed on more than 220 hostages held by Hamas. This will be the first demand.’
Israeli army is continuously attacking Gaza
The Israeli military has been conducting continuous airstrikes on Gaza in response to the deadly attack by Hamas on October 7th. According to Israeli authorities, in these attacks, terrorists killed at least 1400 people, most of whom were civilians, by shooting, injuring, or burning them.
