UNRWA Commissioner: New aid distribution plans are a waste of resources

The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said on Saturday that new "plans" for distributing aid in Gaza are aimed at diverting attention from the atrocities inside the Strip and are a waste of resources.


Lazzarini warned, via the X platform, that famine is imminent in the Gaza Strip, where residents are dying around the clock, while humanitarian aid remains stockpiled outside the Strip, food will spoil, and medicines will expire.


The UNRWA Commissioner-General called for the lifting of the blockade on the Gaza Strip, the opening of all crossings to allow the entry of humanitarian aid, and the enabling of the UN agency to carry out its mission.
