The spokesperson for the United Nations secretary-general has issued a statement saying that Israeli “displacement orders” and “no-go” zones now cover almost 70 percent of the Gaza Strip, reports Al Jazeera.
This leaves “Palestinians in Gaza with no safe place to go and little to survive on”, spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said.
“The secretary-general once again voices his strong concern as aid continues to be blocked, with Israel not having allowed any humanitarian aid or other essential supplies in for more than seven weeks,” Dujarric added.
“The humanitarian consequences are devastating, with food stocks running out, water production drastically dropping and shelter materials almost totally depleted.”
The UN secretary-general also called for the ceasefire to be restored and for all captives to be “released immediately and unconditionally”.
