In Gaza in the last two days the aerial bombings and Israeli artillery shots intensified in some areas of the city of Gaza, while the attacks continue to Deir at Balah and Khan Youunis. This was said by the UN spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, during the daily meeting with the international media at the Glass Palace.
“The raids – he added – affect residential buildings and curtains that host displaced people, causing a large number of victims”.
“And, as a reminder – he recalled – if the land operation in the city of Gaza were to go on, thousands of families already in terrible humanitarian conditions could be pushed even more beyond the limit”.
86% of Gaza militarized, humanitarian crisis aggravates
With 86% of the strip now transformed into Israeli militarized areas or subject to evacuation orders, humanitarian organizations do not have the access and supplies necessary to face the very serious humanitarian situation. This was stated by the UN spokesman, Stephane Dujarric.
“Any further loss of space – he added – new orders of mass displacement or the intensification of attacks in populated areas could have devastating consequences”. Dujarric recalled that the prohibition imposed by Israel on the entry of refuges materials has been in force for over five months.
“In the last few days – he underlined – the temperatures have risen to the stars and hundreds of thousands of people are now without protection from the heat. Almost everyone in Gaza have been displaced at least once since the beginning of the war, and the fortune refuges who managed to improvise or get themselves often deteriorated or have been abandoned when they were forced to escape ».
