Gaza City, August 2 (RHC)-- People of the Gaza Strip have slammed Arab countries for their silence on Tel Aviv’s atrocities, as the Israeli war claims more Palestinian lives. The defenseless people of the besieged enclave have lashed out at Arab countries for their silence on Israel's aerial and ground attacks on Gaza.

This is while Palestinian Minister of Public Works and Housing Mofid al-Hasayna said in an interview with Press TV that the Israeli attacks must stop, calling on the international community to help the Palestinian unity government deal with the disastrous situation in Gaza.

“We have to stop this and we have to ask the whole world…to stop this violence and to make a ceasefire immediately now and not tomorrow, in this minute, because the situation is going to...[lead] to a disaster for our people in the Gaza Strip,” said al-Hasayna.

Israeli warplanes have been pounding numerous sites in the Gaza Strip, since July 8th, demolishing houses and burying families under the rubble. Israeli forces also began a ground offensive against the impoverished Palestinian land on July 17th.
