The unfolding situation in the northern Gaza Strip is “apocalyptic”, the heads of the major UN agencies said Friday, warning that its entire population was at “imminent risk” of death.
“The situation unfolding in North Gaza is apocalyptic... the entire Palestinian population in North Gaza is at imminent risk of dying from disease, famine and violence,” said the joint statement from heads of organisations that form the UN Inter-Agency Standing Committee.
