UN humanitarian chief: Vast parts of Gaza City a wasteland
UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher inspected a wastewater treatment plant in northern Gaza City that stopped operating as a result of the genocide.
He described the state of the city as a "wasteland" and noted the widespread devastation that has deepened the humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave.
For over two years, Israel's campaign of bombardment and shelling across the territory has rendered much of its infrastructure destroyed, including sanitation and water plants, schools, residential buildings and public spaces.
"They're telling me most of all they want dignity."
