UN warns Gaza has become a graveyard.

The United Nations and its humanitarian partners are warning that living conditions for Palestinians in Gaza have become worse as heavy winter rains, hunger and war have transformed the enclave into what they called “a graveyard.”

The aid workers said people are dying from hunger and diseases as well as from military strikes since the Israel-Hamas war that broke out on October 7, 2023. The head of the UN aid coordination office in Gaza, Georgios Petropoulos, issued on December 19 a harrowing update on the dire situation in Gaza, describing it as “the most dangerous place on earth right now,” UN news reported.

about

The San Francisco Conference in the spring of 1945, taking place while World War II was ending, resulted in the creation of the United Nations. The journalists excelled in their coverage of the historic event. They were the first United Nations correspondents. They continue today the task of reporting on UN activities around the world.

This website aims to recognize all journalists who at present time are covering activities at UN headquarters in New York, Geneva, Vienna or in the fields. It recognizes also former UN correspondents who have moved on to other assignments.
