UN declares Gaza to be most dangerous place for aid delivery

Tom Fletcher, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, has raised alarm over the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, calling it the most dangerous region for aid delivery.

“We deal with tough places to deliver humanitarian support. But Gaza is currently the most dangerous, in a year when more humanitarians have been killed than any on record.”

Fletcher warned that North Gaza has been under a near-total siege for more than two months, raising the specter of famine.
