UN humanitarian chief: Gaza needs machinery to extract victims from rubble

United Nations Humanitarian Coordinator Tom Fletcher on Monday said that there is an urgent need for heavy machinery to help extract victims from the rubble and rebuild the Gaza Strip.

Fletcher on Saturday inspected a wastewater treatment plant in northern Gaza City that stopped operating as a result of the genocide.

He described the state of the city as a "wasteland" and noted the widespread devastation that has deepened the humanitarian crisis in the besieged enclave. 

For over two years, Israel's campaign of bombardment and shelling across the territory has rendered much of its infrastructure destroyed, including sanitation and water plants, schools, residential buildings and public spaces.
