'The wounded cannot wait for days'

The head of the International Red Cross, Jakob Kellenberger, has been to the Gaza Strip to see the humanitarian situation.

Mr Kellenberger visited the main Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, where he said he was very concerned that many of those injured in the fighting were unable to get rapid medical assistance.

He told reporters: "It is not negotiable that a medical mission in such a conflict has to be protected. The medical mission has to be protected".
