UN: Gaza war is “carnage” – more than 30,000 dead. Israel defends the actions - Hamas created the battlefield in Gaza.

81 people were killed and 132 others injured in the past 24 hours alone. Since the Israeli military offensive began in October, 30,035 people have been killed and 70,457 wounded. “It is people – Palestinians and Israelis – who are being cruelly harmed,” said UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk.
