Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour says an additional 100,000 Palestinians could be displaced.
“Situation is extremely horrific against our civilian population. The destruction is beyond imagination,” he said.
Mansour said he met with UN Security Council president and urged the opening of a humanitarian corridor for aid into the Gaza Strip, but that cannot happen without pausing bombardment.
“There has to be a humanitarian intervention to avoid a looming catastrophe.”
