UNRWA Commissioner-General on Gaza: there has been no safe, dignified and significant aid in Gaza for more than three months now

From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)

There has been no safe, dignified and significant aid in Gaza for more than months now.

People’s suffering is unconscionable, deepening further on a daily basis.

We have got to and must go back to bringing in aid at scale to people wherever they are and deliver it safely.

The only way to do this is through the United Nations including UNRWA. We have the expertise, experience and ressources. We demonstrated tangible impact during the ceasefire, when obstacles were lifted.

Delaying the decision to properly respond to the deepening hunger will further push down people in Gaza to an endless bottom and deepen dehumanization.
