A planned “humanitarian city” inside Gaza intended to hold hundreds of thousands of Palestinians would be a “concentration camp,” former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has warned.

Olmert described the suggested facility as a 'concentration camp' and said its construction would escalate what he views as Israel's current violations of international law.

Mahmoud Abdul Rahman's son, Abdullah, was among six children who died at a water distribution point in Gaza on Sunday.

Israel’s air and ground war has destroyed vast areas of Gaza and driven some 90% of the population from their homes. Aid groups say they have struggled to bring in food and other assistance because of Israeli military restrictions and the breakdown of law and order, and experts have warned of famine.
