Continued Israeli airstrikes in the besieged Gaza Strip are suffocating. The world seems to have lost its humanity today, commented Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner General of the United Nations Palestine Refugee Agency (UNRWA).
Noting that life is running out in Gaza, he said, the largest UN organization in the Gaza Strip is also on the verge of destruction.
On Monday (October 16), the British media BBC reported this information.
We all know water is life - Gaza is running out of water, he said. With this, Gaza's life is running out. He also said that the situation in Gaza is terrible. All the factories manufacturing medical equipment there have been closed down. If aid does not arrive in Gaza, disaster will follow.
He believes that there is nothing to do now except to negotiate a collective punishment in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The UN official said that the blockade must be lifted soon before it is too late. And aid agencies must be allowed to safely deliver essential supplies such as fuel, water, food and medicine. This is what we need most now, he said.
The United Nations says there is no safe place in the Palestinian Gaza Strip in the face of Israeli airstrikes. Even their shelters are under security threat. The United Nations says Israel's blockade has led to acute shortages of drinking water, fuel and medical equipment in the valley.
On October 7, Hamas, the armed group of the Palestinian Liberation Movement, attacked Israel. In response, the Israeli army started an indiscriminate attack on Gaza on the same day. The next day the valley was completely besieged. The supply of electricity, gas, food and water was stopped. As a result, the people of Gaza are in dire straits.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has said that hospitals in the Gaza Strip, devastated by Israel's continued attacks, have only 24 hours of fuel left.
According to the agency, hospitals in the Gaza Strip are running out of fuel. After 24 hours the hospitals will be plunged into darkness. The lives of thousands of patients will be at risk.
Doctors in Gaza hospitals warned that thousands of people could die in hospital. Because hospitals full of injured people are running out of fuel and medical supplies.
Meanwhile, the queue of dead bodies is growing in hospitals in the Palestinian Gaza Strip. The wounded are gathering one by one. Al Sifa Hospital, Gaza's main hospital, is now in the most critical condition.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces have surrounded the Palestinian Gaza Strip. Hundreds of Israeli tanks are ready to surround the Gaza border in preparation for an all-out attack. Heavy military equipment has been deployed. However, they did not give a specific time frame as to when the attack would begin.
