An International Relations Expert, Dr. Kazeem Agboola has lamented the humanitarian crisis that has erupted as a result of the war between Israel and Hamas over the control of Gaza.
Agboola said over 10 thousand people have been killed in both countries while more than two million Palestinians have been displaced since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza on October 7, 2023.

Pointedly, Agboola who is a lecturer at a private university in Ondo State said what is happening in Gaza is a horrendous crime against defenseless and innocent women and children, which is being committed with the direct and official support of the United States and other Western countries.

According to him, the remarks made by US President Joe Biden during his visit to the occupied territories earlier this month which said “I have long said: If Israel didn’t exist, we would have to invent it” mean that the Americans are prepared to trample upon the blood of women and children, and the rubble of the Palestinian people’s homes to meet their interests.

Also, he said the efforts by Washington to have the United Nations Security Council pass a resolution that would try to portray Israel’s actions as an instance of “self-defense is uncalled for.
He said: “The United States is trying to pursue through a UN Security Council resolution what it has not been able to achieve in the field about supporting the Israelis and meeting its racist interests

“Israel’s relentless bombing of Gaza has damaged half of the besieged enclave’s residential units and displaced 70 per cent of the population according to Palestinian officials.”
