“As terrible as the situation in Gaza is, it could get much worse. “I seriously fear that if we do not act now, the conflict could spread further to other parts of the occupied Palestinian territories and plunge the region into even greater flames, with catastrophic consequences,” said the head of the UN Humanitarian Affairs Department, Martin Griffiths, on behalf of the Secretary-General via video at an informal meeting of the General Assembly. It is “an unbearable humanitarian crisis that cannot continue. International humanitarian law appears to have been turned on its head in many ways.”
