The crisis in Gaza is the World Health Organization (WHO) now so serious that it is approaching “mankind’s darkest hour”.

According to Richard Peeperkorn, WHO representative for the West Bank and Gaza, the situation has worsened significantly.

The number of people fleeing central and southern Gaza now “is increasing enormously,” Peeperkorn told a news conference.

The situation is getting worse every hour. There is intensified bombing going on all around, including here in the southern areas.

Richard Peeperkorn also stated that many of the people who are fleeing are in a desperate situation and are almost in “a permanent state of shock”. He described the situation as close to “mankind’s darkest hour”.

Most of Gaza’s population of just over two million have been driven from their homes during Israel’s bombardment, but are trapped in the strip of land and cannot get out.

Israel tells the civilian population to flee to “safe” places – which the Israeli military then bombs, Reuters reports.

According to the Gaza Health Authority, over 16,000 Gazans have been killed in the war so far, including around 7,000 children.

  1. Gal Meir Eizenkot, the son of Israeli cabinet minister and former military chief Gadi Eizenkot has been killed in Northern Gaza and is another brilliant victory for the Hamas freedom fighters.
