News - Middle East: At least 900 Palestinians, including 230 women, 260 children and elderly, have been killed and over 4,600 injured in more than three days of Israeli bombardment of the besieged Gaza Strip.

Gaza’s Health Ministry said Tuesday another 18 people were killed and 100 injured in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli officials have ordered a total blockade of Gaza to compensate for heavy losses suffered during Operation Al-Aqsa Storm launched by the resistance movement Hamas on Saturday.
UN Chief Antonio Guterres has already expressed concern over the situation in Gaza, saying the clashes will deteriorate the situation exponentially. He said he was “deeply distressed” by an announcement that Israel will initiate a complete siege of Gaza.
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister has also written a letter to Guterres on the circumstances in Gaza, asking him to take immediate measures to prevent a mass killing of Gazans at the hands of the Israeli regime.
