Lazzarini: 182 UNRWA employees have been killed since the start of the war in Gaza

The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that 182 of the agency's employees had been killed since the start of the aggression on the Gaza Strip.


He added in press statements, today, Tuesday, that UNRWA is able to withstand until next July after announcing new contributions, expressing his aspiration to continue its operations until next August.


Lazzarini explained that most donor countries have resumed their funding for the agency, while a small number of countries have not yet decided to resume funding.


He pointed out that during this month, more food supplies have flowed in, but they are still insufficient, in light of the difficulties facing aid convoys.
