"Gaza is experiencing and enduring... death, injury, multiple displacements, amputations, separation, disappearance, starvation and denial of aid and dignity on a massive scale, and just when the all important ceasefire led people to believe they had survived the worst, a new inferno was unleashed," Pierre Krahenbuhl said.
"This horror and dehumanisation will haunt us for decades to come," Krahenbuhl told the annual Global security forum in Doha..
He also refered to over 400 aid workers and 1,000 health care workers that been killed by Israel in Gaza, including 36 from the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Israel unilaterally broke a January truce, brokered by Qatar with Egypt and the United States, and resumed its air and ground genocidal war across the Gaza Strip on March 18 after earlier halting the entry of all food and aid.
The Palestinian health ministry on Sunday raised its overall death toll to 52,243 people since the Israeli war began, after hundreds of missing people were confirmed dead.
