This will only exacerbate the current suffering and ever-rising number of civilian casualties. Famine has been declared in parts of the Gaza Strip and is projected to spread further in the coming weeks. There is no justification for this man-made humanitarian crisis. Ireland has consistently called for an immediate ceasefire agreement and permanent end to hostilities, for the immediate release of all hostages and for the rapid, unimpeded and large-scale entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T\u00e1naiste welcomes imminent arrival of 52 Palestinian young people from Gaza The T\u00e1naiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Simon Harris TD, has announced the imminent arrival in Ireland of 52 Palestinians from Gaza.
