In an address to the UN Security Council, Martin Griffiths has said that Israel’s campaign in Gaza is being waged “with almost no regard for the impact on civilian ”.
“As ground operations move southward, aerial bombardments have intensified in areas where civilian were told to relocate,” Griffiths said, noting that UN facilities sheltering displaced Palestinians have come under “relentless attack”.
Griffiths added that it’s difficult to imagine that Palestinians “would or could” move back to northern Gaza, which has been devastated by Israel’s assault.
He also said that statements from Israeli cabinet members promoting the expulsion of Palestinian civilians raise “grave concerns about the possible forcible mass transfer or deportation of the Palestinian population from the Gaza Strip”.
