Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories, described Palestinians in Gaza as “trapped in a hell without comparison” since October 8 in an interview with Al Jazeera from Catania, Italy. She criticised the delay in enforcing a UN Security Council ceasefire resolution and called for immediate action to halt the carnage in Gaza. Albanese noted a global waning response to Israel’s attacks amid suppressed anti-war protests. She lamented the disconnect between public outrage and political inaction, observing an escalation in violence without tangible signs of peace despite ongoing truce negotiations.
