The President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Mirjana Spolijaric, said on Tuesday that the conflict in Gaza represents a “moral failure” of the international community, and urged all parties to reach a new agreement to stop the fighting.

Spoliatric told reporters in Geneva after visits to Gaza and Israel: “I spoke about moral failure, because every day that this continues is another day that the international community has not proven its ability to end these high levels of suffering, and this will have an impact on generations.” Not only in Gaza.”

She continued: “There is nothing without an agreement between the two sides, so we urge them to continue negotiating and to continue facilitating the space we need in order to activate the releases (of detainees).”

Although the International Committee of the Red Cross facilitated the release of prisoners during the truce, the group was criticized by some Israelis for not doing more to release detainees. Some social media users likened the ICRC to a taxi service extricating prisoners from Gaza.

Spoliatric said that the matter is not just “going there and taking prisoners and taking them out,” considering that any comparison to Uber or taxi services is “unacceptable and outrageous.”

She added, "Our colleagues have risked their lives, safety and security during these operations, and the prisoners are at great risk during these operations."

Spoliatric said that the International Committee of the Red Cross would be ready to provide assistance again once the parties reach an agreement.

She added, "We are still talking with all parties so that we will then be ready to activate the agreement they reach."

In a related context, on Tuesday, spokesmen for two United Nations agencies expressed their anger and disbelief at the situation in Gaza’s hospitals, where there are no basic supplies needed to treat the wounded and children recovering from amputations are being killed as a result of the ongoing conflict.

Most of Gaza's hospitals are no longer functioning due to damage caused by Israeli attacks and raids and a lack of fuel and staff. The hospitals that remain open are under mounting pressure due to bombing and the increasing numbers of sick and wounded arriving.

James Elder, spokesman for the United Nations children's agency UNICEF, said: "I am angry that children recovering from hospital amputations are being killed in those hospitals."

He added that Nasser Hospital, the largest hospital still operating in the sector where he spent some time earlier in the month, had been bombed twice in the past forty-eight hours.

He continued, saying that among the victims was a 13-year-old girl who was subjected to amputation, named Dina, who had survived an air strike on her home that killed her family.

He added, "Where do children and families go? They are not safe in hospitals, they are not safe in shelters, and they are certainly not safe in so-called safe areas."

Margaret Harris, spokeswoman for the World Health Organization, described the situation in Gaza hospitals as “contrary to conscience.”

She said, "They do not have the basics. One of my colleagues described people lying on the ground in excruciating pain and suffering, but they did not ask for painkillers, they asked for water."

She continued, “It is unbelievable that the world allows this to continue.”
