NEW YORK CITY: Shortly after the UN Security Council met to discuss the first report by the Board of Peace and the implementation of Resolution 2803 in the language of diplomacy, international aid leaders stood before reporters to describe a far harsher reality in Gaza.
Speaking at UN headquarters in New York on Thursday, they described a situation in which children continue to go without schooling, surgeons without supplies, and families live in tents beside open sewers.
They depicted a population still trapped in a humanitarian disaster — six months after a widely praised peace agreement was supposed to transform life in Gaza.
The officials and a trauma surgeon who recently returned from Gaza’s Al-Shifa Hospital painted a picture of a territory caught in an unending nightmare. Although no longer under constant bombardment, Gazans remain unable to secure even the most basic conditions of life.
