The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine Refugees in the Near East has said Gaza is running out of water.
Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of UNRWA, said soon there will be no food or medicine either. he said the siege in Gaza is nothing except collective punishment.
The Gaza-based staff of the UNRWA have relocated to Rafah near the border with Egypt, and are working out of the same building as thousands of desperate displaced people, said Lazzarinl.
"Gaza is being strangled and it seems that the world right now has lost its humanity," he said in a stark speech from the agency's headquarters in East Jerusalem on Sunday.

Israel's military said it would not target a specific route south for several hours, again urging Palestinians to leave the north en masse. The military offered two corridors and a longer window the day before. It says hundreds of thousands have already fled south.
