The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says the “entire population of north Gaza is at risk of dying,” as Israel continues intense military operations in the area.
“Hundreds of Palestinians have reportedly been killed. Tens of thousands have been forced to flee yet again,” acting Under Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Joyce Msuya said in a statement. “Hospitals have been hit and health workers have been detained. Shelters have been emptied and burned down. First responders have been prevented from saving people from under the rubble. Families have been separated and men and boys are being taken away by the truckload.”
Msuya went on to say that “what Israeli forces are doing in besieged north Gaza cannot be allowed to continue.”
“Such blatant disregard for basic humanity and for the laws of war must stop,” she added.
