According to the team leader of the UN emergency aid office, Israel has carried out attacks in Gaza on areas that should be safe and that have not been ordered to evacuate.
It is difficult for Palestinians fleeing Israeli attacks to find a safe place in Gaza, says the team leader of the UN Office of Emergency Relief, who has been monitoring the situation in the region for weeks Gemma Connell.
According to Connell, Israel has carried out attacks in Gaza on areas that should be safe and that have not been ordered to evacuate.
Connell also says that, for example, Gazans who fled to Rafah simply have no more space in the city’s shelters.
According to the spokesperson of the Israeli army, Israel has tried to evacuate civilians from the battle areas, but that the terrorist organization Hamas has tried to prevent the evacuations and that the organization is using civilians as human shields. Hamas has denied the claim.
WHO is very concerned about the burden on hospitals
The World Health Organization (WHO) is very concerned about the strain the escalating hostilities are putting on the few hospitals in the Gaza Strip that have remained open. The director of WHO told about it Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus message service in X on Monday.
According to Tedros, WHO representatives visited al-Aqsa hospital on Monday, where people injured in the previous night’s attacks in the central parts of Gaza were taken. The representatives of the health organization heard the stories shared by the health care staff and the victims about the suffering caused by the explosions.
According to Tedros, the hospital receives many more patients than its bed capacity and the staff can handle.
