Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), on Friday urged Israel to allow the organization’s food and nutrition convoys reach northern Gaza and to open additional land crossings to facilitate the delivery of aid.
In a post on social media platform X, Lazzarini called on world countries to increase pressure for the implementation of the International Court of Justice’s order obliging Israel to take all necessary measures to ensure basic aid reaches the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip.
Lazzarini also urged the countries to reconsider their decisions regarding funding the agency, emphasizing the urgency of bold actions to prevent famine in Gaza, warning that the living conditions of over two million people in Gaza were deteriorating, and Gaza was becoming an impossible place for dignified living.
For 176 days in a row, the Israeli occupation army has been waging a genocidal war against civilians in the Gaza Strip, with US and European support, leading to the martyrdom of 32,623 people and the injury of 75,92 others, in addition to the displacement of about 85 percent of the population of the Strip, according to the Gaza authorities and international bodies and organizations.
