According to the UN, the residents of the Gaza Strip are calling for an end to “this hell on earth”. According to the head of UNRWA, hunger is spreading in the enclave. There is a constant demand to ‘do the impossible in an impossible situation’.
After visiting the closed coastal strip, United Nations Palestine Relief Agency (UNRWA) Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini posted on X on Tuesday: “People are everywhere, they live on the streets, they need everything.” They advocated safety. “Our colleagues are asked to do the impossible in an impossible situation.”
According to the UN, half of the population in the Gaza Strip is now hungry. Before the start of the war, which lasted more than two months, more than two million people lived in the area closed off by Israel, which is considerably smaller than Vienna. About half of these were children and young people.
UNRWA: 1.9 million people displaced
Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians had to leave the fiercely contested north for the south on the orders of the Israeli army. But there is now an Israeli ground offensive and fighting is going on there too. According to UNRWA, nearly 1.9 million people have been displaced in the small coastal region – more than 80 percent of the population.
