UNRWA Commissioner-General on Gaza: The aid going in now is a needle in a haystack - occupied Palestinian territory | ReliefWeb

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

No one should be surprised let alone shocked at scenes of precious aid looted, stolen or “lost”.

The people of Gaza have been starved and deprived of the basics including water and medicines for more than 11 weeks.

Mothers and fathers have run out of food for their children.

Older people died because of lack of medicines.

The aid going in now is a needle in a haystack.

A meaningful and uninterrupted flow of aid is the only way to prevent the current disaster from spiraling further.

The least needed is 500-600 trucks every day managed through the UN including UNRWA.

During the ceasefire, we brought in an average of 500-600 trucks a day without diversion or looting.

Saving lives must overtake military and political agendas.

The people of Gaza cannot wait any longer.
