UNRWA Commissioner-General on Gaza: Inaction is complicity and makes us lose our humanity

From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)

"I've been searching for something to feed my children but there is nothing".

Daily SOS messages are coming in from our starving UNRWA colleagues, every day.

How can one respond to such messages of despair? Shames me and doubles the sense of helplessness.

All man made, in total impunity.

Food is available only a few kilometers away.

UNRWA alone has enough stock available outside of Gaza for the entire population for the next three months. We have not been allowed to bring any aid in since 2 March.

Political will is needed.

Inaction is complicity and makes us lose our humanity.
