CAIRO – 31 October 2023: Egypt strongly condemned in a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry, Tuesday the Israeli "inhumane" attack on Jabaliya camp, in the northern Gaza Strip, leaving according to a preliminary estimation, 400 casualties, including killed and injured.

Egypt also warned of the grave consequences of the continuation of such indiscriminate attacks targeting innocent civilians in their places of shelter and around the medical centers and hospitals to which they seek refuge to escape the violent and continuous Israeli bombing, without any regard for the lives, and in a way that exacerbates the crisis and deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip.
