The Latest Breaking News from Philippe Lazzarini

UNRWA Commissioner-General highlights urgent need to address education crisis in Gaza post-conflict to prevent long-term consequences on Palestinian children.

Commissioner-general says Israeli government has undertaken a defamation campaign against the UN agency.

The United Nations said Monday that nine employees of its agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) "may have been involved" in the October 7 attack on southern Israel by Hamas, which sparked war in Gaza, and have been fired.

UNRWA reports on the impact of Israeli evacuation orders in Gaza, causing widespread displacement and instability.

Hundreds also wounded in assault on parts of Khan Younis, including area designated a humanitarian zone by IDF

Israeli government official calling Phillipe Lazzarini a ‘terrorist sympathiser’ also puts his safety at risk, UN says.

A Hamas official on Sunday said the group is pulling out of Gaza truce talks, following an Israeli strike that targeted the militants' commander Mohammed Deif, who was "fine" despite the attack according to another Hamas figure.

Israel has tried for years to dismantle the UNRWA, which helps Palestinian refugees in Gaza and elsewhere.

Hamas says 90 people killed and almost 300 injured in attack – but it is unclear if Mohammed Deif is among them
