Gaza: The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, considered the famine in the Gaza Strip to be the result of deliberate Israeli attempts to replace the UN system with the so-called “Gaza Humanitarian Institution,” politically motivated, according to WAFA.

According to National news agency – Lebanon, this came in a post on Lazzarini’s account on the X platform, in which he commented on the Israeli starvation of Gaza. Lazzarini said the situation has worsened after UNRWA was prevented from bringing any aid into the Gaza Strip for five months. He emphasized that “the marginalization and weakening of UNRWA has nothing to do with allegations of ‘diverting Gaza aid to armed groups,’ but rather is a deliberate measure to exert collective pressure and punish Palestinians simply for living in Gaza.”
