Tom Fletcher, who heads the UN’s humanitarian agency (OCHA), has raised alarm over the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling it the most dangerous region for aid delivery, Wafa reports.

“We deal with tough places to deliver humanitarian support. But Gaza is currently the most dangerous, in a year when more humanitarians have been killed than any on record.”

Fletcher warned that North Gaza has been under a near-total siege for more than two months, raising the specter of famine.

“Less than a year later, the sustained intensity of violence means that there is nowhere that civilians in Gaza are safe. Schools, hospitals and civilian infrastructure have been reduced to rubble,” he added.
