JAKARTA - Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh rejected Israel's call to build a temporary refugee camp in southern Gaza.

"We want our people to return to their homes, the places they left and were forced to flee," said Shtayyeh at a cabinet meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah, as reported by ANTARA from Anadolu, Monday, November 13.

He said the Palestinian authorities were working to ensure food and medicine shipments could reach the Gaza Strip, which is blockaded by Israel.

“We are doing everything possible to save our people in Gaza,” he said.

Shtayyeh also urged the United Nations (UN) and the European Union to send humanitarian aid by air to the besieged enclave, especially northern Gaza.

"We ask the UN and EU to open other corridors for sending aid to Gaza and not only through the Rafah gate which borders Egypt," he said.

More than 11,100 Palestinians, including more than 8,000 children and women, have been killed in Israeli air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since last month, the state media office in Gaza said on Sunday (12/11).

The death toll in Israel is nearly 1,200, according to official figures.
