UN Humanitarian Coordinator has warned of a “hellish scenario” unfolding as the flow of aid in Gaza has come to a grinding halt, as a humanitarian crisis is unfolding in the besieged territory.
Lynn Hastings, the UN humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, said on Monday that conditions for aid delivery to the Strip are nonexistent.
“The conditions required to deliver aid to the people of Gaza do not exist,” she said, adding that the aid devilry is also complicated as two major roads in Gaza have been declared off-limits to UN teams and trucks.
According to Hastings, since the 7-day truce ended on Friday, the Israeli military has forced “tens of thousands... into increasingly compressed spaces, desperate to find food, water, shelter, and safety,” in southern Gaza.
Since the onset of the war nearly two months ago, the Israeli regime has ordered the forced evacuation of Palestinians to the south claiming that the southern part of Gaza is safe.
However, after the breach of the truce, Israel called the southern city of Khan Yunis “a dangerous combat zone,” telling the people there to move to the border city of Rafah or a coastal area in the southwest.
