Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza has escalated into a “betrayal of humanity,” the UN humanitarian chief said on Saturday.
This came in a statement made by Martin Griffiths, the outgoing under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief, on the eve of the six-month anniversary of the war.
“It is not enough for six months of war to be a moment of remembrance and mourning – it must also spur a collective determination that there be a reckoning for this betrayal of humanity,” Griffiths said.
“Each day, this war claims more civilian victims. Every second that it continues sows the seeds of a future so deeply obscured by this relentless conflict,” he added.
“For the people of Gaza, the past six months of war have brought death, devastation and now the immediate prospect of a shameful man-made famine,” he underlined.
