The head of the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency has said hungry people were stopping its aid trucks in Gaza and that it was getting harder to provide aid to people in its shelters because of crowding outside them, Reuters reports.
“People are stopping aid trucks, taking the food and eating it straight away,” Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA commissioner-general, told journalists at a refugee event in Geneva.
“Hunger has now emerged over the last few weeks and we meet more and more people who haven’t eaten for one, two or three days.”
