The European Union's (EU) top diplomat also objected to an order from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that more than a million Palestinians sheltering in the city of Rafah, inside the Gaza Strip, be evacuated ahead of a planned military operation there.
“Where will they evacuate? To the Moon?” he said.
According to health authorities in the Gaza Strip, at least 28,176 people have been killed and 67,784 injured in the fighting, about 70% of whom are women or children. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers the casualty reports from health authorities in the Gaza Strip to be reliable, and UN agencies often cite these figures.
