New York: UN Acting Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Joyce Msuya said that news coming from northern Gaza is horrifying, with Palestinians continuing to suffer unspeakable horrors under the siege imposed by Israeli occupation forces (IOF).
"In Jabaliya, people are trapped under the rubble and first responders are blocked from reaching them. Tens of thousands of Palestinians are being forcibly displaced. Essential supplies are running out. Hospitals, overwhelmed with patients, have been hit," the UN's acting humanitarian chief said. "These atrocities must stop," she added.
She underscored the necessity of respecting international humanitarian law and stressed that the Israeli entity "must comply with the provisional orders of the International Court of Justice."
