Highlighting the seriousness of the situation, Habib stressed that international humanitarian law must be upheld at all times and in all locations. She underlined the need to protect civilian lives and prevent further bloodshed, warning that continued attacks could further destabilize the region.
Despite the ceasefire, Israel has continued its attacks, killing 524 people and injuring 1,360 others since Oct 10, 2025, according to Gaza’s media office.
