UN warns of ‘hellish scenario’ in Gaza amid intense Israeli bombardment

Gaza, The Gulf Observer: Israeli bombardment continues to intensify in the Gaza Strip, including the southern part of the besieged enclave. Attacks were also reported at nearby hospitals in Gaza as telecommunications and internet services continued to be disrupted.

The number of Palestinians killed continues to rise each day as the death toll stands to at least 15,899 killed since October 7.

Meanwhile, the UN has warned of an even more ‘hellish scenario’ unfolding in Gaza.

The UN reports that Israel launched one of its heaviest air, land, and sea bombardments of the Gaza Strip over Sunday and Monday, killing at least 349 Palestinians and injuring more than 750, according to the territory’s health ministry.

With Israeli ground operations now focused on southern Gaza, conditions “do not exist” to deliver aid, the UN’s humanitarian coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territories Lynn Hastings said, warning that “an even more hellish scenario” is about to unfold in the Palestinian enclave, according to the UN’s latest Gaza assessment.
