UN warns of catastrophic situation deteriorating as displacement results in Gaza

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has warned that the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is deteriorating, due to repeated waves of displacement, overcrowding conditions, insecurity, collapsing infrastructure, continued hostilities and limited services.
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned that continued hostilities, evacuation orders and severe shortages of essential items make it more difficult for displaced families to access basic services in the locations they reach.

On the health front, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in his daily press conference that the acute fuel shortage is forcing hospitals to postpone necessary surgeries and threatening to stop the work of ambulances, especially in northern Gaza.
