A Doctor Without Borders (MSF) spokesperson has described the situation in Gaza as "catastrophic on all levels," due to the 60-day complete Israeli blockade on the besieged enclave.
Claire Nicolet, the organisation's head of emergencies, said that the ban on aid entruy into Gaza, imposed since early March, is having deadly consequences.
She warned that the besieged enclave could become a "mass grave," stressing that Israel is weaponising the blockade on essentials as a form of collective punishment.
