Nigeria renews calls for ceasefire in Israel, Hamas conflict

The Federal Government on Saturday renewed the call for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel forces and Hamas in Gaza.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, who made the call in a statement in Abuja, urged the Israeli Government to grant humanitarian access to the millions of people who have been displaced since the crisis began.

The federal government October 8 called for a ceasefire after the Palestinian militant group, Hamas, and Israeli forces intensified attacks on each other territories following the group’s surprising attack in the early hours of October 7.
