The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, has warned that the occupied West Bank is experiencing its worst humanitarian crisis since 1967.
This crisis results from ongoing Israeli military operations in refugee camps and the forced displacement of tens of thousands of residents.
In a post on his "X" platform account, Lazzarini stated: "One year after the start of the Israeli military operation named 'Iron Wall,' 33,000 people remain forcibly displaced from Palestine refugee camps in the northern West Bank."
He added: "At the same time, Israeli forces continue to demolish vast areas of the camps, diminishing the chances for these communities to recover."
Moreover, Lazzarini pointed out that UNRWA teams are working on the ground to assist newly displaced Palestine refugees who have been pushed further into poverty, amid the absence of any viable alternatives for healthcare, education, and social services.
He also emphasized that "UNRWA continues its work, but to sustain this mission, we need continuous political and financial support from member states."
