Israel subjecting Gaza to a 'medieval siege', 'scorched earth' policy: UNRWA

Sam Rose, planning director at the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), said no supplies have entered the Gaza Strip since Sunday and "heavy bombardments" are hitting areas in the centre of Rafah city.

"No aid has come into Gaza now since Sunday. No aid, no fuel, no supplies, nothing. And we really are now down to our last reserves. We have a few more days of flour that we can provide. But everything else will start to shut down very soon without fuel, without water. So the situation is really desperate," Rose told Al Jazeera from Rafah.
