Jan Egeland, secretary-general of the Norwegian Refugee Council, said he was shocked by conditions in Rafah.
“Malnutrition, epidemic disease and trauma is everywhere,” said Egeland.
Visiting a school sheltering some 4,500 displaced people who fled Gaza City in the north of the enclave and nearby Khan Younis, Egeland said he was “shocked by conditions” people were forced to live in.
“The disabled, the pregnant and the newborn share 18 latrines with 4,500 others,” he wrote on X.
“Israel could fix it for the sake of the innocent,” he added.
