Philip Lazarini, UN Commissioner of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), said that what is happening in Gaza is a “suffocating siege” more difficult than the first stage where no food, no medications, no water, no fuel, pointing out that every day that passes without entering aid means that more children sleep hungry. Diseases are spread, and deprivation is aggravated. “
UNRWA General Commissioner stated that with the passage of three weeks since the Israeli authorities have banned the introduction of supplies to Gaza, noting that every day without food is pushing Gaza towards a severe hunger crisis.
UNRWA General Commissioner called for immediately lifting the siege, releasing all hostages, and introducing humanitarian aid and commercial supplies without interruption and on a large scale.
