Many people ‘don’t have means to move’ out of Gaza City: Oxfam
Chris McIntosh, a humanitarian response adviser for Oxfam in Gaza, has spoken to Al Jazeera about the worsening conditions in Gaza City, where he said many people do not have the capacity or resources to leave.
“There are people in Gaza City who are living in destitute poverty – they have for months – and they don’t have the means to move, they can’t even begin to think about it,” said McIntosh.
The longer people stay in Gaza City, the less available resources are likely to be, as focus shifts to setting up infrastructure in the south and “basically the plug gets pulled on the north of Gaza”, he added.
“Every day they’re facing fewer and fewer resources, including their options for access to healthcare, their options for food, and this is to say nothing of electricity,” McIntosh said.
“There is no dignity in this. There is no respect for humanity in this.”
