War must stop

The suffering and depressing circumstances of the children of Palestine, a society that appears to be gradually disappearing from the globe, are among the most upsetting sights in the modern world. Children, women, the elderly, and the people themselves are still wailing and suffering in a small land area today.

Unless the world's civil society rises and tries to put an end to the ongoing crimes against humanity, there is nothing to replace it, as it is on the route to making a new historical blunder that is far more significant than the nuclear explosion on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War 2. I wonder how a responsible world continues to witness such a large-scale effort to permanently extinguish a historically wealthy civilisation, and it is beyond the means of any government or administration.

Even though Palestinians are all too accustomed to displacement and suffering by all means, it is such a situation where basic survival has been denied, and often at the mercy of others.

The series of attacks that might be a war crime offence and the continuing starving of innocent people due to the blockade of humanitarian aid, it is such a high time for an intervention to create a peaceful and quiet round-the-clock day for the civilian society. I’m hoping to see the UN acting much more responsibly to stop the bloodshed.
