This is how a public statement from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uruguay describes the situation, reporting that over 54,000 people have been killed by Israeli bullets and bombs—including 28,000 women and girls.**

The report includes statistics from the World Health Organization, according to which more than 65,000 minors are hospitalized and 71,000 are at risk of dying from hunger, meanwhile out of the 35 hospitals in Gaza, 21 are out of service.

The document denounces that Israel launched a week ago a new military offensive, called “Gideon’s Chariots”, with the express objective of a “total” control of Gaza.

Israel is also attacking the West Bank and moving ahead the illegal colonization of Palestinian lands.

A few days ago, the Israeli army shot at a group of 30 diplomats who were touring the West Bank with the Palestinian government, including the Uruguayan ambassador, the statement continues.

We condemn these actions and reiterate our demand for an immediate ceasefire, the entry of humanitarian aid, without restrictions and under the supervision of international organizations, and the building of a lasting peace, implying the recognition of two states, the uruguayan document underscored.
