Israel’s retaliation has been immediate and unrelenting. After four weeks, the death toll in Gaza has surpassed 10,000, including 4,104 children with more than 25,000 injured. These are figures supplied by Gaza’s Health Ministry; the Israeli tally of casualties is not significantly different. The bombing and attacks go on. Last night, the Israeli military reported strikes against 450 targets amid a total communications blackout in Gaza City. Hospitals are short of fuel, medicine, food, and water.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken says that he is “optimistic” that there would soon be movement toward “humanitarian pauses” in Gaza--but the Israeli government has so far refused to agree to them.
It is past time for a ceasefire. And it is time for the world community to speak with one voice in calling for a ceasefire.
