UNWRA Head Warns of Danger to Agency’s Operation in Gaza
In the midst of ongoing battles between Israel and Hamas, the head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, warns that the breakdown of civil order further endangers the agency’s operation in Gaza. Recent break-ins at the agency’s warehouses by desperate Palestinians searching for food and aid have made it extremely difficult for the largest U.N. agency in Gaza to continue operating. Lazzarini stresses that an immediate humanitarian cease-fire is crucial, as the present and future of Palestinians and Israelis depend on it.
In an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, Lazzarini expressed his concerns about the spillover of the conflict and called on all 193 U.N. member nations to take action and change the trajectory of the crisis. He also highlighted the high number of casualties among UNRWA staff, with 64 members killed in just over three weeks.
