Jonathan Whittall, the head of the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), has said Israel is waging its war on Gaza “without limits”, Al Jazeera reports.

Whittall told reporters that 64 per cent of Gaza’s territory was now inaccessible to Palestinians, and there is no safety for the civilian population.

“Nowhere and no one is safe in Gaza,” Whittall was quoted as saying.

“My colleagues tell me that they just want to die with their families. Their worst fear is to die alone,” he said.

There are no longer humanitarian solutions to the crisis in Gaza, which needs “political action”. “I believe that this needs to start with accountability,” he added.
