UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths on Friday said Gaza had become “uninhabitable” after relentless bombing by Israeli forces in retaliation for the Hamas fighter group’s attack in October, The Business Standard reports.

“Three months since the horrific 7 October attacks, Gaza has become a place of death and despair,” Griffiths said in a statement.

“Gaza has simply become uninhabitable. Its people are witnessing daily threats to their very existence — while the world watches on.

“The humanitarian community has been left with the impossible mission of supporting more than two million people,” the statement said.
