UNRWA Commissioner calls for European support to pressure Israel to end the Gaza blockade

The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that he urged Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares, during a phone call on Sunday, to mobilize European support to pressure Israel to end the "deadly blockade" imposed on the Gaza Strip.


The agency later said that the Israeli blockade had caused a severe shortage of its medical services in the Gaza Strip.


UNRWA announced on its X account that approximately one-third of essential supplies in the Gaza Strip have run out, noting that another third is expected to run out in less than two months.


Israel has suspended the entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip since early March in order to increase pressure on Hamas, exacerbating the dire conditions for Palestinians in the Strip.
