The humanitarian situation in Gaza Strip remains critical and could deteriorate further.
00:06
That's according to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine, UNRWA.
00:12
Speaking to Euronews in Brussels, the director of UNRWA in Gaza, Scott Anderson, called upon
00:17
all parties to the conflict to respect the sanctity of safe places for civilians.
00:25
Give us a full picture here.
00:26
What is the situation?
00:28
Well, there's nowhere, nowhere safe in Gaza.
00:31
That's been said by many people, I would echo that.
00:33
Including the safe zones.
00:35
Including the safe zones.
00:36
And unfortunately, all parties to the conflict are not respecting the sanctity of sites that
00:42
should be safe for civilians, which includes hospitals and includes schools, both UNRWA
00:47
and PA schools.
00:49
And we would reiterate that call that all parties to the conflict respect the sanctity
00:53
of those places so that civilians can find safety for themselves and for their families.
00:58
Anderson also responded to past allegations that his agency was too lenient with Hamas,
01:03
which the EU designates as a terrorist organization.
01:06
He stated that UNRWA took swift action after discovering that some of its employees were
01:11
linked to Hamas.
01:13
Can you say today that UNRWA has thrown out all Hamas operatives?
01:18
Well, no.
01:19
I don't think anybody can say anything with certainty about any of their workforce anywhere.
01:25
We have over 13,000 people.
01:28
We do take the neutrality very seriously, as shown by the commissioner general's very
01:33
swift action.
01:34
But no, I can't with certainty say that's done.
01:37
I don't have evidence of more.
01:39
I can't say that.
01:40
And if we did, we would take action.
01:43
You can watch the full interview on the situation in Gaza on Thursday and online on Euronews.com.
01:49
What's that?
01:50
Unable to pull out of the situation.
