WHO has set up treatment tents for civilians and children outside six emergency departments in Gaza, but situation remains “volatile”, an official said.
India was among 14 countries that abstained from voting on a resolution at the UN Human Rights Council to launch an investigation into alleged violations and crimes during the 11-day conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

On May 19, Daily Monitor came published an Op-ed piece by Patrick Katagata Jr. titled, ‘Exploring history of the Israel-Gaza Conflict.’
Mr Katagata sets out to explore the history of Israeli-Palestinian ‘conflict’ to throw light on the alarming developments of the last two weeks. However, the author neither tells the history of the ‘conflict’ nor explains the immediate triggers for the unfolding human tragedy we have witnessed in real time.
For a start, the attempt to frame the problem as an “Israeli-Gaza conflict” and to portray what has been going on as a drama of strikes and counter strikes between Israel and Hamas is simply wrong.
