The Commissioner -General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), Philip Lazarini, said today /Sunday that Israel’s ban to enter humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip is a “collective punishment” against citizens, and is pushing towards a severe hunger crisis.
- The Director of the Indonesian Hospital: We have dozens of injuries and we cannot help - the seventh day
- Palestinian martyrdom with occupation snipers fire in the town of Al -Mugharaa in the center of Gaza - the seventh day
- The Israel Broadcasting Corporation: Netanyahu and Zemir discussed the possibility of resuming the fighting in Gaza - the seventh day
Lazarini pointed out – in a post published on the “X” platform today – to “the passage of three weeks since the Israeli authorities have banned the introduction of supplies to Gaza,” adding that the Palestinians in Gaza “depend on imports across Israel to survive.”
He said that the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip face a “suffocating siege longer than that which was imposed during the first stage of the war, where there is no food, medicine, water, or fuel,” adding, “Every day it passes without entering aid means that more children sleep hungry, diseases spread and deprivation is aggravated.”
Lazarini stressed that “every day without food is pushing Gaza towards a severe hunger crisis,” calling for the immediate lifting of the siege, and the introduction of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies without interruption on a large scale.
