Egypt condemns Israeli occupation's bombing of residential area in Beit Lahia

Cairo [Egypt], October 21: Egypt has strongly condemned the Israeli occupation's bombing of a residential area in Beit Lahia, located in the northern Gaza Strip, which has resulted in numerous Palestinian civilian casualties.
Egypt denounced Israel's ongoing targeting of defenceless civilians in the Gaza Strip, including the attacks on residential areas, hospitals, and schools.
"There is no moral or military justification for the significant loss of life among Palestinian civilians, particularly women and children," the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
Egypt emphasised the urgent need to activate international accountability mechanisms to alleviate the suffering of civilians in Gaza and to halt Israel's attacks and intimidation of non-combatants, which violate fundamental principles of international law and humanitarian law.
Egypt reiterated its call for the Security Council to fulfill its responsibilities in maintaining international peace and security, warning of the serious consequences if the international community fails to intervene promptly to stop the Israeli aggression.
