Palestinians live 'surrounded by disease, destruction and death', says UN relief chief

In a statement on the end of the seven-day truce in Gaza, UN relief coordinator Martin Griffiths said that the return to fighting on Friday was "unacceptable".

"Almost two months into the fighting, the children, women and men of Gaza are all terrified. They have nowhere safe to go and very little to survive on. They live surrounded by disease, destruction and death," he said in a statement.
