Martin Griffiths on the dire conditions of aid operations in Gaza and the voices that should be heard on the future of Palestine.
Nine weeks into Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip, the United Nations faces growing challenges in delivering aid to the besieged and bombed enclave.
The Israeli offensive has displaced 85 percent of the population. Around 1.3 million people are crammed into UN facilities there, exceeding their capacity four times over. These facilities have also been frequently targeted by Israeli attacks.
Additionally, the killings of aid workers in airstrikes further complicate the crisis.
This situation raises concerns about the UN’s ability to operate effectively in Gaza.
Martin Griffiths, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, provides insight into these issues in his interview with Tel Aviv Tribune.
