Red Cross says resumption of Gaza war started ‘new inferno’

A “new inferno” was unleashed on Gaza when fighting with Israel restarted, the director general of the International Committee of the Red Cross said on Monday. “Gaza is experiencing and enduring … death, injury, multiple displacements, amputations, separation, disappearance, starvation and denial of aid and dignity on a massive scale, and just when the all important ceasefire led people to believe they had survived the worst, a new inferno was unleashed,” Pierre Krahenbuhl told a conference on security in Qatar.
