Aid groups fear Gaza operations on brink of collapse

New York — More than two dozen international aid groups warned Tuesday that the humanitarian response in the Gaza Strip is at risk of "imminent collapse" due to Israel's continued operational restrictions and the shrinking of its so-called safe zone for Palestinian civilians. "Humanitarian efforts in Gaza are stretched to the breaking point, leaving thousands without basic services," Camilla Dogliotti, Humanity & Inclusion/Handicap International's Palestine country manager, said in a statement.
