'Appalling and apocalyptic' conditions in Gaza, Unrwa says

The United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees warned about "appalling and apocalyptic" conditions in Gaza on Thursday.
The UN has repeatedly warned about the acute humanitarian crisis in the besieged Gaza Strip, exacerbated by the war that has persisted for more than 14 months.
"Conditions for people across the Gaza Strip are appalling and apocalyptic," UNRWA spokeswoman Louise Wateridge said during a visit to Nuseirat in central Gaza.
She added that life-saving aid to "besieged areas in north Gaza governorate has been largely blocked" since the Israeli military launched a sweeping assault there in early October.
