From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)
At least 2,000 desperate and hungry people have been killed while seeking food aid. The vast majority were killed near sites of the so called “Gaza humanitarian foundation”.
This deadly mechanism is manned by mercenaries including anti-Muslim gangsters according to the BBC.
Addressing famine in Gaza requires uninterrupted, at scale and safe access to people in need wherever they are.
The UN, including UNRWA and partners have the ressources and the expertise.
Let us do our job
