UN describes Gaza as ‘scene of death and destruction’ amid food, water challenges
A United Nations (U.N.) official described Gaza as a “scene of death and destruction” amid food and water struggles faced by the territory Friday. Thomas White, Gaza director for the United Nations…
“I visited a school, hosting thousands of displaced persons,” Lazzarini continued. “The place was overcrowded. The level of distress and the unsanitary living conditions were beyond comprehension. Everyone was asking for water and food. Instead of being at school to learn, children were asking for a sip of water and a loaf of bread. It was heartbreaking.”
White also said the average Palestinian in Gaza is living off of two pieces of bread made from U.N. stockpiled flour, The AP reported. But the situation is growing more dire.
“Now people are beyond looking for bread. It’s looking for water,” White said.When these innocents die from collective punishment where will be the outrage of brave and just Israel? Where will be the calls for their neighbors justice? Who will be the brave who stop the machine of madness from within? 2.5 million lives hang in the balance and the most these humanitarians can say is we are the saviors that will snuff out the light of basic decency in the name of "safety." If we allow this to continue, one day it will be on all of our doorsteps.
Thank you for your compassion.
Israel is deliberately starving children in their plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
You could say it’s a concentration camp
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A United Nations (U.N.) official described Gaza as a “scene of death and destruction” amid food and water struggles faced by the territory Friday.
Thomas White, Gaza director for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said he has traveled “the length and breadth of Gaza in the last few weeks” and called it a “scene of death and destruction,” according to The Associated Press.
White also said the average Palestinian in Gaza is living off of two pieces of bread made from U.N. stockpiled flour, The AP reported.
In similar remarks Friday to the U.N. General Assembly, UNRWA Commissioner Philippe Lazzarini also talked about his recent experience visiting Gaza.
“I visited a school, hosting thousands of displaced persons,” Lazzarini continued.
Instead of being at school to learn, children were asking for a sip of water and a loaf of bread.
