The UN’s senior humanitarian and reconstruction coordinator for Gaza stressed the need for political will to alleviate the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, reports. “I have painted a very, very bleak picture as civilians in Gaza continue to suffer,” Sigrid Kaag told reporters following a closed session at the UN Security Council, adding, “nothing prepares you for what you see, what you hear, and the conversations you’re having with your fellow human beings, Palestinians in Gaza.” “I have visited Gaza over a period of three decades in my life, and we are at a low point,” she added.
