Cuban president reiterates denunciation of Israel’s massacre in Gaza

Havana, Aug 20 (Prensa Latina) Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel on Tuesday reiterated his denunciation of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.

On his X profile, the head of State noted that the bombings by the Israeli army since October 2023 have killed more than 40,000 Palestinians and have wounded nearly 92,000, in addition to displacing two million people.

The day when the future generations ask why we did not stop the Holocaust, we will not have a dignified and reasonable answer, he noted in his message.

On Tuesday, the general director of the Government Information Office in Gaza, Ismail Al-Thawabta, explained that among the population murdered “in a clear and massive manner” were 16,480 minors.

He noted that of that number, 115 were born and died during the conflict, and in total 35 died as a result of hunger and malnutrition, a situation that affects about 3,500 of them throughout the coastal enclave.

The official pointed out that more than 17,000 children live without their parents or without one of them because they were murdered by the Israeli military.

Recently, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) warned about the serious humanitarian situation that is affecting the civilian population in Gaza.
