A World Health Organisation (WHO) official in Gaza said the situation there is deteriorating by the hour as Israeli bombing has intensified in the south of the enclave around the cities of Khan Younis and Rafah, Reuters reports.

“The situation is getting worse by the hour,” Richard Peeperkorn, WHO representative on the occupied Palestinian territory, told reporters via video link from Gaza.

“There’s intensified bombing going on all around, including here in the southern areas, Khan Younis and even in Rafah,” they said.
