UN Commissioner Lazzarini reports dire conditions in northern Gaza
The dire situation in the north of Gaza has been brought to light by a statement made by Lazzarini on his social media account. According to Lazzarini, the Israeli army has resumed ground attacks in the region, leading to a rise in casualties over the past three weeks. The continuous bombing has made it difficult for UNRWA personnel to access essential supplies such as medicine, food, and water.
Lazzarini expressed concern about the increasing number of bodies left unattended due to Israel’s prevention of their removal and hindrance of humanitarian aid. He described the region as having a lingering “smell of death” as bodies remain on the roads and under rubble. The people in the north of Gaza are feeling abandoned, hopeless, and isolated, constantly living in fear of death.
Calling for a temporary ceasefire in the north of Gaza, Lazzarini emphasized the need for safe humanitarian passage for families wishing to leave the area and reach safer locations. He stressed that such measures are crucial to protect the lives of civilians who are not involved in the conflict.
The Israeli army’s intensifying ground attacks that began on October 6 have further exacerbated the crisis in the north of Gaza. With aid deliveries being hampered, Palestinians in the region are facing hunger, thirst, and ongoing bombardments. The urgent need for a ceasefire and humanitarian assistance is crucial to prevent further loss of innocent lives in this conflict-ridden area.
