UNRWA: Israel's ban on aid entering Gaza is "collective punishment"

The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said on Sunday that Israel's ban on the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip constitutes "collective punishment" against its citizens.


In a post on the X platform, Lazzarini noted that "three weeks have passed since the Israeli authorities banned the entry of supplies into Gaza."


He pointed out that Palestinians in Gaza "rely on imports via Israel to survive."
