UNRWA Chief: Gaza Killings of Starving People Routine

UNRWA

From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)


Gaza : Palestinian lives have been so devalued. It is now the routine to shoot and kill desperate and starving people while they try to collect little food from a company made of mercenaries.

Hundreds of people have been reported killed since the "Gaza Humiliation Foundation" started operating just over three weeks ago.

A lame, medieval and lethal system that is deliberately harming people under the camouflage of "humanitarian aid" with

- Lies

- Deceit

- ⁠Cruelty

Inviting starving people to their death is a war crime.

Those responsible of this system must be held accountable.

This is a disgrace and a stain on our collective consciousness.

Humanitarian principles must be reinstated also to let the experts do their jobs and provide assistance with respect and dignity.

Background Information:

UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. The United Nations General Assembly established UNRWA in 1949 with a mandate to provide humanitarian assistance and protection to registered Palestine refugees in the Agency's area of operations pending a just and lasting solution to their plight.

UNRWA operates in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, The Gaza Strip, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.

Tens of thousands of Palestine refugees who lost their homes and livelihoods due to the 1948 conflict continue to be displaced and in need of support, nearly 75 years on.

UNRWA helps Palestine Refugees achieve their full potential in human development through quality services it provides in education, health care, relief and social services, protection, camp infrastructure and improvement, microfinance, and emergency assistance. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions.

Your support is crucial to help us provide emergency aid
