Head of United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that Israel has informed UN that it will no longer agree to send UNRWA food convoys to northern Gaza Strip.
"As of today, UNRWA, the main lifeline for Palestine Refugees, is denied from providing lifesaving assistance to northern Gaza," Lazzarini posted on 'X'.
"Despite the tragedy unfolding under our watch, the Israeli Authorities informed the UN that they will no longer approve any UNRWA food convoys to the north. This is outrageous & makes it intentional to obstruct lifesaving assistance during a man made famine," he added
"These restrictions must be lifted. UNRWA is the largest organisation with the highest reach to displaced communities in Gaza. By preventing UNRWA to fulfill its mandate in Gaza, the clock will tick faster towards famine & many more will die of hunger, dehydration + lack of shelter," Lazzarini continued.
"This cannot happen, it would only stain our collective humanity," he stressed.
