Israel 's U.S.-armed military struck another devastating blow to Gaza 's increasingly weary, sick, and starving population on Wednesday by issuing evacuation orders for parts of Deir al-Balah, a city in the center of the enclave that was previously deemed a 'safe zone.
Louise Wateridge, a senior communications officer for UNRWA, told the BBC on Wednesday that Gaza families 'just do not know what to do.' 'The frontline is near everybody,' said Wateridge, who offered a horrifying account of the humanitarian situation in the besieged strip. 'It's a war on children. All we see here is children dying, children being killed.' 'The hospitals reek of blood; you can taste the blood in the air,' she continued.
