State of Palestine: Gaza suffering from "worst humanitarian conditions" in its history - PNGO official

Almost a year after Israel's conflict against the coastal enclave in the summer of 2014, Palestinians in Gaza continue to endure the "worst humanitarian conditions ever witnessed in Gaza" according to Director of the Palestinian Non-Governmental Organisation (PNGO) in Gaza Amjad Shawa, who spoke out about the situation on Monday. The war has left thousands of houses demolished, forcing citizens to live amid ruins and metal containers. One Gaza resident Abu Mohamed Kadaih said the Israeli military "destroyed our homes with airstrikes and then bulldozed entire neighbourhoods," adding that "we can't rebuild them ourselves, because the war left us with nothing". According to United Nations estimates as many as 2,200 Palestinians and 70 Israelis were killed in the conflict 'Operation Protective Edge,' which began on July 8 and officially ended on August 26.
