Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said on Monday said that the killing of 10,000 people in Gaza was “deplorable and disgraceful”. She added: “shame on governments supporting this destruction”.
Her comments came after the World Health Organisation (WHO) released a statement that it had lost communications with its contacts at Al Shifa Hospital after rmultiple attacks by Israeli forces
In a post on X, Ms Vadra said: “What a deplorable and disgraceful milestone…over 10,000 people killed in Gaza of which almost half are children. One child is being killed every ten minutes according to the WHO, and now tiny babies had to be removed from their incubators due to lack of oxygen and were left to die.”
“Still, no shock to the conscience of those supporting this genocide, no ceasefire…just more bombs, more violence, more killings and more suffering. Shame on the governments supporting this destruction. When is it going to be enough,” she asked.
The Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza has said that Israel’s war to “destroy” Hamas in Gaza has killed over 11,000 while Israel has accused the Hamas of operating from bunkers underneath the hospital, a claim denied by Hamas.
Israel’s war on Gaza came after Hamas militants carried out a surprise attack on Israel on October 7, killing comes more than 1,200 Israelis and taking nearly 240 people including children and the elderly as hostage.
