Dr Mohammed Moghayyar, the director of operations at Gaza Civil Defence, said in an interview that Israeli forces have reduced the size of the humanitarian zone to only 15 to 19 percent of the entire area of the Gaza Strip.
He said this has cut off crucial facilities such as hospitals and increased the risk of diseases spreading.
“Many of the roads have been blocked” he said, adding that this has meant the Civil Defence cannot reach Palestinains who require help.
“The more the Israeli occupation forces reduce the safe humanitarian zones, the more it continues to violate international law and the Geneva Convention, the more it causes death and killing among our people,” he said.
