"Everyone has long been horrified by what is unfolding in Gaza - but the blocking of humanitarian aid and now plans for a military takeover of Gaza City has taken the conflict into uncharted territory."
An investigation has revealed a consistent pattern of Israeli military gunfire targeting Palestinians near food distribution centres, with heavy injuries documented among those seeking food.
The Israeli Government's decision to further escalate its offensive in Gaza is wrong, and we urge it to reconsider immediately. This action will do nothing to bring an end to this conflict or to help secure the release of the hostages. It will only bring more bloodshed.
