The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said Tuesday a recently established, US-backed system for aid distribution in the Gaza Strip was "an abomination".

"The newly created so-called aid mechanism is an abomination that humiliates and degrades desperate people. It is a death trap costing more lives than it saves," Philippe Lazzarini said at a press conference in Berlin.
