The atrocities in Gaza, with tens of thousands of victims, mostly innocent civilians, children, the elderly, the sick, are causing deep suffering.
There is a need to reach an immediate ceasefire.
The parties involved must show prudence and reasoning, prioritizing the value of every human being and peaceful coexistence over continued violence with incalculable consequences.
