If there is hell on earth, it is north of Gaza: UN spokesman
“If there is a hell on earth, it is the north of Gaza,” Jens Laerke, spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, told the weekly press briefing in Geneva.
Laerke said UN humanitarian trucks reach the south of the Gaza Strip, however, they cannot deliver aid to the north part of the strip where hundreds of thousands of people still reside.
A group of UN experts has warned that Palestinians are “at a grave risk of genocide” as the Israeli government maintains a complete siege on the Gaza Strip.
Israeli bombardment has killed at least 10,812 Palestinians, including 4,412 children and 2,918 women, in Gaza so far, according to Palestinian authorities.
Nearly 1,600 Israelis have been killed and over 5,400 others injured in Hamas attacks, according to Israeli authorities.
