UNICEF spokesperson Kazem Abu Khalaf has described the situation in Gaza as tragic and catastrophic.
In an interview with "Extra News" TV channel, on Monday, Abu Khalaf said that Gaza’s infrastructure is devastated, clean water is scarce, and disease is spreading rapidly.
He noted that out of 36 hospitals in the region, only 22 are partially functioning and providing services similar to outpatient clinics.
He further highlighted that this is the longest period during which humanitarian aid has been blocked since the beginning of the Israeli war on Gaza.
Abu Khalaf criticized the international community for issuing condemnations without taking concrete action.
Moreover, he urged world powers to intervene and increase pressure on Israel to break the cycle of aid restrictions on the Gaza Strip.
