The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees has said mass starvation in Gaza is preventable if there is the political will to allow humanitarian organisations to do their work, Al Jazeera reports.
“We are back to the blaming game while the people of Gaza are starving and trying to survive heavy bombardments,” UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini wrote on X.
Palestinians in Gaza are facing starvation and risk famine as Israel continues to block aid from being delivered.
“We are not asking for the impossible. Allow the UN, including UNRWA and humanitarian partners to do our work: assist people in need and preserving their dignity,” he urged.
