The Labour Party of the United Kingdom has reaffirmed its request for the government "to do everything it can to work for a sustained ceasefire" in the Gaza Strip.

David Lammy, Labour's shadow foreign secretary, said there had been no "let up to the intolerable suffering" in Gaza.

In an address in the Commons, Lammy accused "Israel" of utilizing "devastating tactics" that have led to the killing of "too many innocent civilians," along with the "unacceptable" blockade of humanitarian aid.

He expressed that Gaza is in "dire" need of a ceasefire and "not a short pause."

The ceasefire will "provide urgent humanitarian relief, ward off famine, free hostages, and provide the space for a sustainable ceasefire, so fighting does not restart."

Meanwhile, the Israeli occupation continues its aggression against the Gaza Strip for the 94th day in a row, launching raids on various areas, resulting in the death and injury of dozens, most of whom are women and children.

The number of martyrs in Gaza has risen to 23,084, while the number of wounded has reached 58,926, since October 7, according to the Ministry of Health in the Strip.

The Ministry added that the occupation committed 17 massacres during the past 24 hours, killing 249 Palestinians and wounding 510 others.

In the center of the Gaza Strip, the death toll from the Israeli bombing of Palestinians’ homes in the city of Deir al-Balah rose to 18 martyrs, including children and women, and dozens of others wounded.

In al-Zawayda, 5 were martyred and several others were wounded after the occupation targeted Palestinian families. The occupation artillery bombed al-Nuseirat camp, while quadcopter aircraft opened fire in the vicinity of al-Shifa Hospital.

Slow death, no anesthesia: Abu Sitta recalls horrors he saw in Gaza

Palestinian doctor Ghassan Abu Sitta spent 43 days under fire in Gaza. What he witnessed during his voluntary work in the besieged Strip's hospitals left him with a lot to tell about the Israeli atrocities committed against civilians.

When he left Gaza because he could no longer perform surgeries due to a shortage of medical equipment, he decided to advocate for the Strip through other means.

Speaking to AFP, Abu Sitta detailed the testimony he provided to the British police regarding attacks against civilians and the types of weapons used, hoping it would lead to trials for war crimes.

The results of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, where Abu Sitta arrived on October 9 as part of the Doctors Without Borders team, surpassed the horrors of all the wars and conflicts he had worked in before, including Gaza, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and South Lebanon.

"It's like the difference between a flood and a tsunami; the scale is entirely different," he expressed, emphasizing the large number of casualties, martyred children, the magnitude of the disaster, and the intensive bombings, causing the Gaza healthcare system to be overwhelmed within days of the war's start.
