After a seven-day truce between Israel and Hamas, Israel has resumed its war on Gaza which has already killed more than 16,200 people and forcibly displaced some 80 per cent of Gaza's 2.3 million people into increasingly smaller areas. Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), a global medical humanitarian organisation has appealed to the UN Security Council to do everything within its power to ensure an immediate and sustained ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, saying it was the only way to stop the killing of more civilians and allow for the scaled-up delivery of desperately needed humanitarian aid.
