Humanity is failing in Gaza, warned Mirjana Spoljaric, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross, according to whom it is becoming unbearable to watch the suffering of the people unfold daily in the war-torn Palestinian region.

The president of the ICRC tells the BBC's international editor Jeremy Bowen Palestinians have been stripped of human dignity.

Gaza has become worse than hell on earth, the president of the Red Cross has warned as aid distribution centres in the enclave were closed for a day. The controversial US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) announced late on Tuesday night it was temporarily shutting down operations in the strip after dozens of Palestinians were killed attempting to access its distribution centres.
