“Again and again there was a pile-up of bodies in the morgue. So many of them are placed on the pavement,” Fikri said in his daily dispatch to Mer-C on Wednesday that the organisation shared with This Week in Asia.

He pleaded with all countries to press on Israel for a ceasefire, “so that the humanitarian corridor can run well and food shipments and others can enter Gaza without any interference from Israeli attacks”.
