UN official recounts scenes of ‘despair’ from Gaza visit

Nick Robinson of the BBC interviewed Tom Fletcher, the Head of the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), regarding his recent trip to Gaza. During the conversation, Fletcher described the conditions in Gaza, mentioning scenes that he interpreted as indicative of widespread despair and hopelessness. He compared the drive to Gaza City to traversing the ruins of Hiroshima, a reference to the devastation experienced by the Japanese city during World War II.

Fletcher’s observations highlight concerns about the humanitarian situation in the region. The full interview with Tom Fletcher is available for listeners in the UK on BBC Sounds, and it is scheduled for broadcast on BBC Two at 12:30 on Friday and on BBC Radio 4 at 17:30 on Saturday.
