UN warns Gaza catastrophe
A UN official described the humanitarian conditions in Gaza and the occupied West Bank as catastrophic, warning that restrictions on the entry of essential goods are hampering reconstruction. The destruction of water and sanitation networks and shelters has deepened the suffering of displaced people and increased the risk of disease outbreaks. He noted that the lack of income limits families’ ability to buy goods, even when they are available, and that restrictions on construction materials are delaying repairs to vital facilities. In the West Bank, he warned of rising settler attacks and land confiscations. He also cautioned that the withholding of clearance revenues is undermining the Palestinian Authority’s ability to fund health and education institutions and pay salaries.
