International mediation bid underway as Gaza seethes
China DailyVictims of Israeli bombardments are rushed into a hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip, on Wednesday. With both the death toll and humanitarian situation rapidly worsening in Gaza, the international community has made continued efforts to end the conflict, with the UN Security Council adopting at least four resolutions, namely Resolution 2712, 2720, 2728 and 2735. A series of international condemnations and resolutions largely aimed at preventing Israel's military strikes on the Gaza Strip have done little to improve the conditions of aid worker Nebal Farsakh and her colleagues, as well as the 2 million Palestinians struggling for survival in their homeland. On Aug 3, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies confirmed the death of one of their own — Tamer Jalal Muhammad Saqr — who died after he was shot during an Israeli raid on the Balata refugee camp east of Nablus in the West Bank on July 27. On Aug 8, the US-based food aid charity World Central Kitchen said on its X account that Nadi Sallout, an integral member of the warehouse team from the early days in Rafah and a humanitarian at his very core, was killed near Deir al-Balah, Gaza.
