Slovenia calls for ending killings in Gaza soon

NEW YORK:Slovenia's foreign minister has called for an end to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where Israeli attacks have continued for over 100 days, saying "enough is enough."

Tanja Fajon said there is need for an immediate cease-fire and a political solution to address the ongoing conflict, saying the hostilities must stop "because there is an urgent need for humanitarian assistance."

"We see day to day a worsening of the humanitarian situation, a humanitarian crisis. Thousands of children and women (were) killed and we have to stop it. Enough is enough," said Fajon.

Israel has pounded Gaza since a cross-border attack by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7, killing at least 25,490 Palestinians and injuring 63,354. Nearly 1,200 Israelis are believed to have been killed in the Hamas attack.

The Israeli offensive has left 85% of Gaza’s population internally displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
