Gaza has become “uninhabitable.”
The Gaza Strip has become a “place of death” that is simply “uninhabitable,” the UN warns after almost three months of war. The Gaza Strip has “simply become uninhabitable” and its residents face “daily threats before the eyes of the world,” United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Coordinator Martin Griffiths summarized on Friday.
According to Unicef, the clashes, malnutrition and health situation in this impoverished area created “a cycle of death that threatens more than 1.1 million children” even before the war began.

Settlement boom in the West Bank
While the world's eyes are on the Gaza Strip, the number of informal settlements and new routes for settlers in the occupied West Bank has seen an “unprecedented” increase, according to Israeli NGO Peace Now. In a study, this anti-colonization organization claims that since October 7, nine wild colonies, or “outposts” in English, have appeared in this area, which has been occupied by the Israeli army since 1967.

GOOD MORNING
Hello and welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
“A place of death and despair,” said UN Humanitarian Coordinator Martin Griffiths in a press release about the Gaza Strip issued on Friday, January 5. The representative warned that the area had become “uninhabitable” three months after the start of the war between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas, the outcome of which is difficult for anyone to imagine. The Gaza Strip has “become simply uninhabitable”, “a place of death and despair” and its residents face “daily threats before the eyes of the world”, warned Martin Griffiths.
The Israeli army continued its operations there on Friday, announcing the “elimination” of “terrorists” in the center and the destruction of rocket firing sites towards Israel to the south, in Khan Younes, the epicenter of the fighting. In the evening, clouds of smoke rose after renewed impacts. Despite a lack of prospects for a cessation of hostilities, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant presented ideas for the post-war period on Thursday, on the eve of the start of a regional tour by American diplomatic chief Antony Blinken.
The plan presented by the minister still needs to be approved by a divided government. It provides for the continuation of operations in Gaza until the “return of the hostages,” the “dismantling of Hamas’s military and government capabilities,” and the “elimination of military threats.”
