UNRWA: Over the past few days, #Gaza has been undergoing an unusual #heatwave This made the already inhumane living conditions even worse for 1.5 million people, mostly living under plastic sheets in #Rafah. We received reports that at least two children died due to the heat.
What more to endure: death, hunger, disease, displacement, and now living in greenhouses-like structures under scorching heat. We cannot afford on top of this misery, a major military operation to go ahead.
~Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of
UNRWA
