The head of the UN agency for Palestine refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, has renewed his urgent call for a ceasefire in Gaza, warning that civilians face death not only from bombardment but also from mass starvation and lack of aid.
Despite severe restrictions on humanitarian access, UNRWA continues to provide medical care, clean water, and shelter to hundreds of thousands. But Israel continues to severely impede food distribution – despite international food experts’ assessment that famine will spread.
“Every hour today counts, the more we wait, the more people will die,” the UNRWA Commissioner-General said in an interview with UN News’s Daniel Johnson.
