The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Sunday, “The pressure on the people of Gaza is enormous, and we do not know how long they will endure these harsh conditions without food, shelter and water.”

This came in an interview conducted by the American channel CNN, with Scott Anderson, Deputy Director of Gaza Operations at the UN agency, and the latter published its content on the “X” platform.

Anderson added, "The situation has become very difficult, especially since we are in the winter, and most of the population is living in tents."

He added, "Gaza has turned into a city of tents, and its residents are doing their best to live their lives and take care of their children."

The UN official stressed, "The pressure on the people of Gaza is enormous, and we do not know how long they will endure these harsh conditions, without food, shelter, water, and any basic amenities."

Last week, the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that the residents of Gaza are being subjected to “collective punishment” in light of the scarcity of humanitarian aid.

This came in a blog post he published on the X platform, on Thursday, about the situation in the besieged Gaza Strip, which is suffering under Israeli attacks.

Since last October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, which as of Sunday left 22,835 people dead, 58,416 wounded, massive infrastructure destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to the Gaza Strip authorities and the United Nations.
