The head of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) says Palestinians in Gaza were pleading for an end to this “hell on earth”.

“Back in Gaza, endless deepening tragedy. People are everywhere, live in the street, and need everything. They plead for safety & for an end to this hell on earth,” Philippe Lazzarini said in a post on X.

“Our colleagues are asked to do the impossible in what is an impossible situation,” he added.
