The UNICEF spokesman has called for an immediate stop of attacks on hopeless Palestinians in Gaza condemning the continuation of bombings despite the devastating situation in besieged territory.

James Elder, who is currently in the besieged Gaza Strip, said in a video post on X on Tuesday, “The intentions must now be clear. The absolute devastation of Gaza, indeed, it’s already happened.”

His remarks came after the US-drafted Gaza truce plan was adopted by the UN Security Council. Fourteen members of the Security Council voted in favor of the proposal on Gaza ceasefire. Russia abstained.

The three-phase plan envisages the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, the exchange of prisoners and the reconstruction of the territory.

Hamas said in a statement on Tuesday that it endorses the resolution and is ready to cooperate with mediators to enter more indirect negotiations over the implementation of the resolution.

In a joint statement the Palestinians resistance groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad said that their priorities are a complete end to the ongoing Israeli aggression and the interests of the Palestinians in Gaza.

White House spokesperson John Kirby said on Tuesday that the US has received Hamas’s formal reply to the ceasefire proposal sent to Qatari and Egyptian mediators.

At least 37,124 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip over the past eight months during the regime's genocidal war.
