Israeli attacks have increased throughout the Gaza Strip, particularly around hospitals and in the southern part of the besieged zone, where ground operations are intensifying.
According to the latest casualty figures as of 6:00 a.m. local time (04:00 GMT) on December 5, 16,159 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and the West Bank, including at least 6,661 children. In addition, at least 45,365 Palestinians were injured.
A UN official warned on Monday that “an even more hellish scenario” has emerged in Gaza where humanitarian aid has simply stopped.
“The necessary conditions for providing aid to the people of Gaza do not exist,” said Lynn Hastings, the UN humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories.
Since the seven-day ceasefire ended, Israeli forces have pushed into southern Gaza, “forcing thousands of people … into increasingly cramped spaces, desperate to find food, water, shelter and safety,” Hastings said. “There is nowhere safe in Gaza and there is nowhere left to go.”
“If possible, a more hellish scenario is about to unfold, where humanitarian operations will not be able to respond,” Hastings said in a statement.
Hastings, a Canadian, rejected the idea of ”safe zones” urged by the US government on Israel where people are still unable to move freely.
“These areas cannot be safe or humanitarian if declared unilaterally,” he said.
Hastings added, “What we see today is underpowered shelters, a health system on its knees, a lack of clean drinking water, no proper sanitation, and poor nutrition for an already mentally and physically exhausted people: a textbook recipe for an epidemic. And a public health disaster.” .”
Further complicating relief distribution, Gaza’s two main roads have been declared off limits to UN teams and trucks, Hastings said.
Hastings is based in Jerusalem but Israel told the UN last week it would not renew his visa, accusing him of not being “neutral”.
