“Everything Is a Challenge”: U.N Aid Coordinator Discusses Plight of Displaced Gazans

HeadlineJul 18, 2024

On Wednesday, the top U.N. aid coordinator for Palestine, Muhannad Hadi, said women and girls in Gaza are facing harrowing conditions and that “everything is a priority” and “everything is a challenge” in Gaza.

Muhannad Hadi: “The discussion that I had with the woman group there was one I have never had in my entire career in the United Nations. Women expressed to me how they go through difficulties living there as displaced, in shelters, in UNRWA schools. By the way, the number one thing women complained about was basically privacy, the lack of privacy and dignity.”
