The head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, Jan Egeland, recently returned from Gaza and described the strip as dystopian horror movie and a place filled with endless areas of complete destruction, as we read in DW:
The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) chief Jan Egeland warned the situation in northern Gaza strip has deteriorated to a dramatic degree, saying it resembled a a “dystopian horror film.”
In an interview with the Die Zeit daily that was published in German, Egeland recounted his recent visit to Gaza, saying the situation has gotten “much worse” compared to his prevous trip in February.
“In Gaza City, we drove through endless areas of completely destroyed houses,” Egeland said, adding that some refugees from the north of the region were now living in “those piles of rubble.”
Israel has said that its operations in the beleaguered north of Gaza are necessary to stop Hamas from regrouping.
The Israeli army said that a number of terrorists have been killed, positions destroyed and weapons caches dug up, as a result of its operations in Rafah and in the northern refugee districts of Jabaliya and Beit Lahia.
Looking at Gaza, it looks likes something out of the film, Children of Men.
