UN says Gaza humanitarian crisis ‘likely the worst’ since fighting started

The United Nations said Gaza was facing its most severe humanitarian crisis since fighting began, with no aid entering the territory for weeks and conditions rapidly deteriorating, AFP reports.

“The humanitarian situation is now likely the worst it has been in the 18 months since the outbreak of hostilities,” said the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

In a statement, OCHA said no supplies had reached Gaza for a month-and-a-half, since Israel ended a two-month ceasefire and began blocking their delivery.
