Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted peace can only be achieved in Gaza if Hamas is destroyed, the territory demilitarised and Palestinian society "deradicalised", after warning the war is set to intensify.
WHO(world health organization) declares on Monday reported the harrowing of the entire families killed from Christmas Eve strikes on a refugee camp in Gaza.
Palestinian territory have been devastated by the relentless Israeli strikes and heightened tensions by the conflicts across the Middle East٫ with global pressure for a ceasefire mounting.
But in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal on Monday night, Netanyahu vowed to stay the course.
"Hamas must be destroyed, Gaza must be demilitarised, and Palestinian society must be deradicalised. These are the three prerequisites for peace between Israel and its Palestinian neighbours in Gaza," Netanyahu said.
He said demilitarisation "will require establishing a temporary security zone on the perimeter" of the territory.
For the foreseeable future Israel will have to retain overriding security responsibility over Gaza," he said
WHO staff visited a hospital treating victims of the Al-Maghazi strikes.
The "team heard harrowing accounts shared by health workers and victims", the UN health agency's chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media.
"One child had lost their whole family in the strike on the camp. A nurse at the hospital suffered the same loss," he added
An estimated 1.9 million Gazans have been displaced, according to the UN, many fleeing south and crowded into shelters or makeshift tents in the winter cold.
