The head of UNRWA, the UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees, has said no humanitarian aid has entered Gaza for more than three weeks, AL Jazeera reports.
In a post on X, the agency’s commissioner, Philippe Lazzarini, noted that “this is longest that Gaza has been without any supplies since the war began.”
During the ceasefire, he added, up to 600 trucks entered the territory on a daily basis. “Now, nothing,” he wrote.
“Parents cannot find food for their children. The sick are without medicine. Prices are soaring. Hunger is increasing while the risk of diseases spreading is looming,” Lazzarini wrote.
“Meanwhile, bombardment from the Israeli Forces continues.”
Lazzarini added that eight UNRWA staff were killed just in the past week.
