Jordan’s King Abdullah II says the war in Gaza is making climate change issues even worse in the enclave.
The king told the UN’s COP28 climate talks in Dubai that “we cannot talk about climate change in isolation from the humanitarian tragedies unfolding around us”.
“In Gaza, more than 1.7 million Palestinians have been displaced from their homes. Tens of thousands have been injured or killed in a region already on the front lines of climate change,” he told a gathering of world leaders.
“The massive destruction of war makes the environmental threats of water scarcity and food insecurity even more severe.”
