ICRC urges end to hostilities as Israel-Hezbollah conflict threatens regional spill over

  • Resumen

  • The situation in the Middle East is rapidly deteriorating. Though not officially termed a war, the escalating conflict across Gaza, northern Israel, and southern Lebanon suggests a new regional conflict in the Middle East is rapidly taking shape.


    Israel's operation against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon and Beirut, which resulted in the death of one of Hezbollah's leaders, has triggered missile retaliation and caused severe civilian casualties. More than 550 people, among them dozens of children have died, and thousands have fled the violence since Israel’s most intense barrage. The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is urging immediate de-escalation, civilian protection, and unhindered humanitarian aid to prevent further catastrophe, particularly in Gaza, where the situation is already dire.


    In today’s episode, host Evi Kiorri brings you a voice from Gaza: Hisham Mhanna, spokesperson of the ICRC, discusses the situation on the ground. Our senior editor, Georgi Gotev, joins us to unpack the current situation in southern Lebanon and north Israel.
