The head of the United Nations’ Palestinian refugee agency has accused Israel of obstructing aid delivery to northern Gaza, where a dire humanitarian situation is unfolding amidst a renewed Israeli military offensive.
UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini highlighted in a recent statement that Israel is impeding humanitarian missions from reaching the north of Gaza with essential supplies such as medicine and food. He emphasized that the remaining shelters in the region are severely overcrowded, with some displaced individuals being forced to live in inadequate conditions, including toilets.
