Juliette Touma, the communications director of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, said the whole of Gaza Strip has become the most dangerous place in the world.

“No place is safe in Gaza,” she highlighted in an interview with BBC, adding that the situation in the Palestinian enclave was getting worse by the minute.

“People are very very fearful of what is coming next specially given the intensification of the bombardment in the south,” Touma said. “There is no such thing as a safe zone in Gaza.”
