The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has raised alarms about the 'inhumane' living conditions in Gaza. According to a recent statement on social media platform X, central Gaza is grappling with escalating waste accumulation and sewage water leakage.
The resulting situation forces families to reside amidst heaps of garbage, subjecting them to unbearable odors and severe health hazards. The UNRWA has urged for an immediate ceasefire in a bid to mitigate the imminent health disaster.
The UN agency's call comes amid increasing concerns over the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the region, emphasizing the need for urgent actions to improve living conditions for Gaza's residents.
