Head of Norwegian refugee council decries devastation in Gaza

The head of the Norwegian Refugee Council decried the scale of Israel's bombardment in the Gaza Strip as "truly shocking".

Jan Egeland, head of the Norwegian Refugee Council, said NRC workers in Gaza City were able to speak with Palestinians who fled northern Gaza, which is under tight siege.

"Testimonies they heard from people there included elderly parents unable to reach the bodies of their dead children for burial, of the sick & desperate with zero access to essential medicine, & of people now destitute having spent entire life savings just trying to survive," he wrote on X.
