In Gaza, the humanitarian situation is increasingly desperate, according to the UN Secretary General. Israeli bombings have continued for two nights in the area.

The more Israeli strikes intensify, the more life seems impossible in Gaza. This is the case in this building bombed during the night from Saturday to Sunday, in Rafah, in the south of the Palestinian enclave. Israel had nevertheless called on civilians to move to the south where humanitarian aid would be increased, but no place is safe anymore according to the United Nations, which is calling for a humanitarian pause.

Gazans in distress

In the streets, residents queue in front of bread and water distribution points. A tank allows you to fill a few cans. Israel announced in mid-October that it was restoring water supplies to southern Gaza, but the shortage continues.

The communications network was partially restored on Sunday October 29 in the morning. A sign of the tension, thousands of people looted UN warehouses and food aid distribution centers in Gaza on Saturday.
