ISRAEL CONTINUES GENOCIDE IN GAZA

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 14 (Bernama) -- Tuesday (Jan 13) marks the 18th day of
Israel's bloody aggression on the Gaza strip, and the genocide continues against
the Palestinian people.

The world mourns the death of 905 Palestinians and pray for the recovery
of about 4,100 Palestinians, half of whom are women and children.

"The horrific realities on the ground are also becoming increasingly
evident, with the shocking accounts of survivors recovered from under the rubble
of homes that Israeli forces levelled.

"And yet, the United Nations Security Council resolution 1860 (2009) remains
ignored in utter disdain by Israel, the occupying power, pounding the people it
occupies with complete disregard for their lives and well-being, as well as for
international law," the Palestinian embassy said in a statement here Tuesday.

According to the statement, Israeli warplanes hit dozens of homes on the
northern, eastern and southern borders of Gaza City yesterday, resulting in the
death of nine Palestinians, including two children and two women.

"Families living in the most targeted neighbourhoods on the edges of Gaza
City have been appealing to paramedics and the International Committee of the
Red Cross (ICRC) for rescue.

"They are trapped, under fire, without access to food, water, or
electricity.

"Most agonising is that many of these families have sick and injured
members whose lives are slipping away, while Israeli fire continues to forbid
paramedics from reaching them," it said.
