Palestinians living in Gaza “deserve more than survival,” the United Nations envoy for the Middle East has told the Security Council, as Israel’s conflict there enters its 600th day, AFP reports.
“Since the resumption of hostilities in Gaza, the already horrific existence of civilians has only sunk further into the abyss. This is man-made … Death is their companion. It’s not life, it’s not hope. The people of Gaza deserve more than survival. They deserve a future,” Sigrid Kaag said.
