Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), says the aid trickling into Gaza is “a needle in a haystack” amid dire conditions, Al Jazeera reports.
“The people of Gaza have been starved and deprived of the basics, including water and medicines for more than 11 weeks,” he wrote in a post on X. Mothers and fathers have run out of food for their children. Older people died because of [a] lack of medicines.“
“A meaningful and uninterrupted flow of aid is the only way to prevent the current disaster from spiralling further,” Lazzarini added.
