‘Hell on Earth’: UN on the Situation in Gaza

The United Nations has described the situation in the Gaza Strip as ‘hell on earth’. This assessment was made by Jens Laerke, a spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

“If there is hell on Earth today, it is in northern Gaza. Those who remain there are suffering from death, hardship, despair, displacement, and lack of light,” the organization's representative stated during a press briefing in Geneva.

Earlier, it was reported that Israeli tanks had surrounded a children's hospital in Gaza.
