The International Red Cross warned on Thursday that the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip would "quickly get out of control" in light of the concentrated Israeli bombing.

The Regional Director of the Red Cross for the Middle East, Fabrizio Carbone, expressed his concern for the fate of civilians in the Gaza Strip, which is subjected to intense daily bombing.

Israel tightened the siege imposed since 2006 on the poor Gaza Strip, with a population of 2.3 million people, cutting off water, electricity, gas and supplies.

Carbone warned during an online press conference that the humanitarian situation in the Strip “will quickly get out of control,” explaining that the ongoing bombing does not allow his organization to distribute its stock of some necessary materials, such as gasoline for electricity generators and chlorine for the water network.

He said, "The security conditions do not allow us to move freely," adding, "We have no choice if there is an agreement (to guarantee the safety of humanitarian workers) but to trust it," at a time when five paramedics from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies have been killed since the start of the battles.

He stressed the need to establish a humanitarian corridor to bring in necessary materials, medical equipment and fuel, which the United Nations also called for.

The toll of the Israeli aggression against our people in Gaza rose to 1,354 martyrs and 6,049 wounded, and in the West Bank the toll rose to 31 martyrs and 180 wounded.
