UN warning about the collapse of living conditions in the Gaza Strip

The director of UNRWA's health department warned that the continuation of military operations, destruction of infrastructure and restrictions on the entry of medical equipment will turn Gaza into an unlivable area.

Ambassador Arjan - International Group: The director of the UNRWA Health Department warned that the Gaza Strip will gradually turn into an area where it is not possible for humans to live in it, following the continuation of the extensive military operations of the Zionist regime.

The director of the health department of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) emphasized the dire humanitarian situation in this region: "The living conditions of the residents of Gaza have collapsed."

These statements were made on the eve of the first anniversary of the ceasefire agreement between the Zionist regime and the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas); The agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025.

According to the statistics mentioned in this report, the large-scale military attacks of the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip, which began in October 2023, have resulted in the martyrdom of more than 74 thousand people.

The process of rebuilding the Gaza Strip is still progressing slowly. The continued attacks of the Zionist regime and the control of a large part of the lands of this strip, even after the establishment of a ceasefire, are among the most important obstacles to the reconstruction and return to normal life in this area.

Estimates indicate that the Zionist army controls about 70% of the area of the Gaza Strip; According to this report, the range has exceeded the areas provided for in the ceasefire agreement. In this situation, about two million people of Gaza live in the remaining 30% of this strip, most of them are settled in tents.

At the same time, the restrictions imposed on the entry of medical equipment and items have resulted in a continuous lack of medical needs in the Gaza Strip. Despite the ceasefire, the health situation of this area is still critical and skin diseases and other infectious diseases have spread among the residents.

The UNRWA official's warning once again highlights the dimensions of the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip; A crisis where the continuation of restrictions, destruction of infrastructure and the difficulty of accessing medical services, the prospects of returning to normal life of the residents have faced serious obstacles.

Ambassador Arjan announced the violation of the ceasefire in Gaza on Saturday; The Israeli army targeted areas in Gaza City, Jabalia, El Brij, Khan Yunis and Rafah with artillery shelling, military vehicle shooting, attack by helicopters and warships.

Nasser Kanani wrote: "The attack of the child-killing Zionist regime on the UNRWA-supported school in the Gaza Strip once again portrayed the dark and hidden side of the claimant West to the world."

The United Nations special rapporteur on human rights affairs in the Palestinian territories says that the bombing of Gaza has been carried out with the power equivalent to six nuclear bombs, and the residents of this area are facing siege, malnutrition and gradual death.
