The director of Gaza Training College in Khan Younis, Rawya Halas, has said in the situation in the Palestinian enclave is “catastrophic, catastrophic, catastrophic”.

“The situation we are in now is unprecedented and cannot be described with words. No words in the world can describe the situation we are in,” she said in a post on X.

“I beg you, save Gaza. It’s dying, it’s dying, it’s dying. There are children, elderly and adults for whom I cannot provide. I am the UNRWA. I am the head of this shelter, and I can’t offer them anything. Neither food nor water. There is nothing, nothing,” she said.
