GAZA, Oct 27 (NNN-XINHUA) – An official from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), yesterday, described the situation in northern Gaza as“horrific.”
“Ongoing evacuation orders and continued restriction of essential supplies leaves the remaining civilian population in north Gaza in horrific circumstances,” said Stephanie Eller, deputy head of the mission in Gaza, in a press briefing.
“Hospitals have been ordered to evacuate, which could result in the potential loss of medical services for many civilians who remain there, while those hospitals are already struggling with severe resource shortages as more wounded and sick people continue to arrive,” she said.
She reported that, many civilians are unable to move due to the fighting, destruction, illness, or disabilities, adding that, the situation is further complicated by unclear evacuation instructions.
Eller called for further efforts to ensure safe access for humanitarian and medical personnel to reach those in need in Gaza City and northern Gaza.
