Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), says the organisation has been banned from delivering aid to Gaza for more than five months, Al Jazeera reports.
He said UNRWA warehouses in Egypt and Jordan are “full with food, medicine and hygiene supplies”, enough to fill 6,000 trucks.
Lazzarini said the agency joins other NGOs in calling for a ceasefire and for aid to be allowed in, managed by the UN system, including UNRWA.
