RAMALLAH: UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said on Wednesday (Dec 6) that "Palestinians in Gaza are living in utter, deepening horror," as they "continue to be relentlessly bombarded by Israel and collectively punished."

Speaking at a press conference ahead of Human Rights Day, Türk said that "humanitarian aid is again virtually cut off, as fears of widespread disease and hunger spread."
