Bombs haven't stopped from Israeli warplanes flying over the Gaza Strip as President Joe Biden says invading Gaza would be a 'huge mistake' and the head of the UN aid agency says life there is ending .
Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner-general of the United Nations agency, addressed the dire situation in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, highlighting the critical humanitarian crisis.
Lazzarini emphasized that Gaza is rapidly running out of water and electricity, and the population faces severe food and medicine shortages.
Gaza is drowning and it seems the world has now lost its humanity. If we look at the issue of water - we all know that water is life - Gaza is running out of water and Gaza is running out of life," said Lazzarini.
Asked by a journalist during a press conference about the restoration of water in southern Gaza, Lazzarini said:
"We have not yet been able to confirm. My understanding is that if there is going to be water restoration, it would mainly affect Khan Younis or half of Khan Younis. So it would not cover south of Khan Younis or the people in Rafah. But again, this is a report we need to confirm. And at the moment our colleagues on the ground are unable to confirm this information."
He described an unprecedented humanitarian disaster with thousands seeking shelter in UNRWA facilities as resources are stretched to the limit.
"The number of people seeking shelter in our schools and other UNRWA facilities in the south is absolutely overwhelming and we no longer have the capacity to deal with them," he added.
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has said that the Israeli occupation of Gaza would be a 'big mistake'.
"An Israeli invasion of Gaza would be a huge mistake," Biden said in his 60 Minutes interview.
Asked if he would support such an action, he said:
"I think it would be a big mistake. Look, what happened in Gaza, in my opinion, is Hamas and the extreme elements of Hamas do not represent the entire Palestinian people. And I think that ... It would be wrong for ... for Israel to occupy ... Gaza again. We ... but going in but driving out the extremists, Hezbollah is in the north, but Hamas is in the south. It is a necessary request," he said.
He said he believed Hamas should be eliminated entirely, but added that “there should be a Palestinian Authority. There must be a path to a Palestinian state.”
Asked if he believed Israel would pursue a two-state solution, which has been U.S. policy for decades, after the Hamas attack, Biden said:
"Not now. Not now. Not now, but - but I think Israel understands that a significant part of the Palestinian people do not share the views of Hamas and Hezbollah," the US president emphasized.
