From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General in X formerly known as twitter:

It’s been three weeks since the Israeli Authorities  banned the entry of supplies to Gaza.

No food, no medicines, no water, no fuel.

A tight siege longer than what was in place in the first phase of the war.

The people of Gaza depend on imports via Israel for their survival.

Every day that passes without the entry of aid means more children go to bed hungry, diseases spread and deprivation deepens.

Every day without food inches Gaza closer to an acute hunger crisis.

Banning aid is a collective punishment on Gaza: the vast majority of its population are children, women and ordinary men.

The siege must be lifted,

All hostages must be released ,

Humanitarian aid and commercial supplies must be brought in uninterrupted + at scale.
