UN aid chief: Rafah operation would be tragedy beyond words

United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Martin Griffiths voiced on Wednesday that a ground invasion of Gaza’s southern city of Rafah would be a “tragedy beyond words.”

“For the hundreds of thousands of people who have fled to Gaza’s southernmost point to escape disease, famine, mass graves and direct fighting, a ground invasion would spell even more trauma and death,” Griffiths stressed, adding that a ground invasion of Rafah would prove to be a “disastrous blow” to agencies providing humanitarian aid.
