the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross calls for a “de-escalation” of the conflict

While the Israeli army increases its bombings in the south of Gaza, the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mirjana Spoljaric, who arrived in the Gaza Strip on Monday, denounced the suffering “intolerable” of the population and demanded a “political solution”. According to her, humanitarian convoys are no longer enough.

In contact with Hamas and the Israeli army, the international NGO participates in the negotiations and, as a neutral intermediary, it has ensured the recent transfers of hostages. Earlier on Monday, she demanded on the social network X that the hostages be released and that the ICRC be “allowed to visit them safely”.
