The UN's humanitarian chief, Martin Griffiths, has condemned Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, calling it a betrayal of humanity. Griffiths expressed concern over the escalating violence and the impact it has on civilians and the already fragile aid operation in the region.
Israel ’s war against Hamas in Gaza has escalated into a “betrayal of humanity”, the UN’s humanitarian chief said on Saturday, reports AFP. In a statement on the eve of the six-month anniversary of the war, Martin Griffiths, the outgoing under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief, called for a “collective determination that there be a reckoning for this betrayal of humanity”.
“Each day, this war claims more civilian victims,” said Griffiths, who will leave his post at the end of June due to health reasons. “Every second that it continues, sows the seeds of a future so deeply obscured by this relentless conflict.” According to AFP, Griffiths lamented “the unconscionable prospect of further escalation in Gaza, where no one is safe and there is nowhere safe to go.
