Iran Press/ Europe: The Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris in a message on his account on social media X (formerly Twitter), in response to the increase in the number of martyrs in Gaza to more than 40 thousand people, considered it a source of shame for the world.
More than 40,000 people have been killed in the Israeli war in Gaza, a milestone the "world must be ashamed of", the Irish Prime Minister has said.
Calling for a ceasefire, Simon Harris said: "40,000 dead in Gaza is a milestone the world must be ashamed of. International diplomacy has failed to protect innocent children, some only days old.
One in 50 residents of the Palestinian enclave have now died in the conflict, according to Gaza health authorities, but humanitarian organizations and health officials fear the total could be far higher, with thousands still unaccounted for or trapped under rubble.
International aid organisations say women and children account for around 72% of the death toll.
It comes as international mediators gathered for a new round of talks aimed at halting the bombardment of Gaza and securing the release of scores of Israeli hostages.
Some 10 months into Israel's war on Gaza, since October 7, it is estimated that 85% of the population has been displaced in Gaza, with many moving multiple times as Israel issues evacuation orders.
