UN: There is shortage of body bags in Gaza Strip

This is reported by Politico.

"The number of killed is increasing. There are not enough body-bags for the dead in Gaza,” the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said in a press release.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, in turn, noted that the Middle East is on the brink of an abyss.

According to a UN report, since Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 1,400 Israelis and 2,329 Palestinians have been killed.

• On October 9, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered the military to put the Gaza Strip under a complete blockade. "There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel. We are fighting non-humans and acting accordingly," the official said.

• Pope Francis expressed concern over the blockade of the Gaza Strip and called on the parties to the conflict to make peace.
