Martin Griffiths, Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations for Humanitarian Affairs, said that the bombing of Gaza after October 7 turned the impoverished Strip under siege into hell on earth.

He added that delivering humanitarian aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip who are on the brink of starvation is almost impossible.

The UN official confirmed that humanitarian and UN workers in Gaza were killed in unreasonable numbers.

Griffiths explained that world leaders have failed the people, and some of them have provided unconditional support to their allies despite evidence that they violated humanitarian law.

He pointed out that weapons continued to flow into Israel from Washington and other countries despite the horrific impact of the war on civilians in Gaza.

Griffiths stressed that civilians and infrastructure in Gaza have been subjected to excessive damage and there is politicization of aid amid the spread of hunger and disease.

In this context, the Government Information Office in Gaza said that the situation in the northern Gaza Strip is tragic in light of the shortage of food and medicine, pointing out that the occupation killed 16,000 children during the war.

He stated that the occupation added the destruction of the Rafah crossing halls that residents were using to its record of crimes in the Strip.

The office renewed its demand to open the Rafah crossing to meet the needs of the population, especially in the northern Gaza Strip, and described Israel’s talk about a tactical cessation of the war as a lie.
