Affairs in Gaza, on 'Face the Nation' that aired on June 2, 2024.MARGARET BRENNAN: Joining us is Scott Anderson. He is the director of the UN's refugee efforts in Gaza. is the largest relief agency for Palestinian refugees and he joins us right now from Amman, Jordan. Scott, I know you were in the U.S. Army, you served two tours in Afghanistan. From what you've seen in Gaza, how does it compare? Sorry, I cannot hear Scott right now.DIRECTOR OF
AFFAIRS GAZA, SCOTT ANDERSON: Sorry, I was gonna say Gaza is much worse, Margaret, than Afghanistan was. I mean, everywhere you go the scale of destruction just really defies description and it looks like something out of a- a post-apocalyptic movie. Most places you're looking at 90 to 100% destruction with the infrastructure suffering much worse. So I never saw anything quite like that in Afghanistan that we're seeing now in Gaza.
feeds a little over half the population. We're feeding about 1.3 or 1.4 million people every day, but it would be us, along with the rest of the UN and all our partners and I would say we very much welcome a cease-fire. It's time for the hostages to go home to their families. Time for more aid to start coming in and then hopefully we can start rebuilding Gaza.MARGARET BRENNAN: Scott Anderson, thank you for telling us what you are seeing and experiencing on the ground.
