No safe, dignified, significant aid in Gaza for over 3 months
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 three 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.
UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The United Nations General Assembly established UNRWA in 1949 with a mandate to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to registered Palestine refugees in the Agency’s area of operations pending a just and lasting solution to their plight.
