The Israeli occupation is committed to executing massacres in the Gaza Strip, as the Palestinian Ministry of Health has announced that as of yet, 881 massacres have been identified, noting that 23 journalists have been martyred since the start of the Israeli aggression.

In the past few hours alone, the Ministry underscored that the Israeli occupation has committed 56 massacres, killing 3002 Palestinians, most of whom have been locally displaced toward the allegedly "safe region" in the South of the Strip.

It was also stated that about 1870 people have been reported missing, warning that the lack of water and means for hygiene could result in the spread of diseases across the Strip.

Earlier on Saturday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that more than 8,000 people have been martyred in the Strip since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

ICRC chief calls for action to halt 'intolerable' suffering in Gaza

The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mirjana Spoljaric, on Saturday called for a halt of the "intolerable" human suffering of civilians in the Gaza Strip.

"This is a catastrophic failing that the world must not tolerate," Spoljaric expressed, adding, "I am shocked by the intolerable level of human suffering and urge the parties to the conflict to de-escalate now."

She stressed that "the tragic loss of so many civilian lives is deplorable," underlining that "it is unacceptable that civilians have no safe place to go in Gaza amid the massive bombardments, and with a military siege in place there is also no adequate humanitarian response currently possible."

Spoljaric spoke hours after UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sharply criticized the "unprecedented escalation" of Israeli bombardments on Gaza, and called for an "immediate" ceasefire.
