The United Nations' Humanitarian and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths has called the conflict in Gaza a "betrayal of humanity".

"It is not enough for six months of war to be a moment of remembrance and mourning: it must also spur a collective determination to bring accountability for this betrayal of humanity," Griffiths said.

The war between Israel and Hamas reached its six-month anniversary on Sunday 7 April. Israeli strikes have killed more than 33,000 people in retaliation for the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, according to data cited by Reuters.

Martin Griffiths, the UN Humanitarian and Emergency Relief Coordinator, said in a statement from New York on Saturday that Israeli incursions - in retaliation for attacks half a year ago - have brought death and devastation on Gaza soil.

"It is not enough for six months of war to be a moment of remembrance and mourning: it must also spur a collective determination to bring accountability for this betrayal of humanity," Griffiths said.

In addition, the senior UN official said, "For the people affected by the lasting horror of the 7 October attacks, it has been six months of pain and torment".

A Hamas delegation led by the group's deputy head in Gaza, Khalil Al-Hayya, travelled to Cairo, Egypt on Sunday for ceasefire talks in Gaza, in response to an invitation extended by Egyptian mediators, the group said in a statement on Saturday.

Hamas reiterated its demands made in a 14 March proposal prior to a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip that was adopted on 25 March.
