#Gaza : The increase in aid is not yet tangible, sustained or uninterrupted.
Aid also needs to reach safely all those in need.

It means convoys & humanitarian aid workers should no longer be a target +
restrictions on UNRWA by Israel to reach the north where famine is imminent…

'The Agency is hanging by a thread, not just financially- but also politically'

Philippe Lazzarini: Israeli authorities say they no longer want UNRWA in #Gaza ; UNRWA also under pressure to cease activities in #WestBank

30 days to save #UNRWA : Philippe Lazzarini in his race against time⬇️

Our @unrwa colleagues work tirelessly to reach thousands of families with vital food supplies.

But aid into📍 #Gaza is still much less than bare minimum to meet humanitarian needs & people in the north continue to face man-made famine.

There needs to be safe & unimpeded access.

'This was not a nutrition-rich environment before the war'

Scott Anderson tells The Associated Press low levels of aid entering📍 #Gaza since the war started have compounded an existing, pre-war nutrition deficit.

Meanwhile, only trickles of aid are reaching north #Gaza

.World Health Organization (WHO) and partners went to Khan Younis yesterday to assess the health facilities there. The team described the destruction as 'disproportionate to anything one can imagine'. No building or road is intact, there is only rubble and dirt.

Hostilities in the vicinity of a WHO…

We repeat our call.

Humanitarian and healthcare workers must be protected.

Children in📍 #Gaza deserve to smile

On occasion of Eid Al Fitr, UNRWA teams implemented “Smile of Hope” initiative to spread happiness among displaced children in #Rafah

We distributed gifts & organized activities so children experience the joy they're used to celebrating Eid.

Children across📍 #Gaza are demonstrating alarming signs of distress.

These specialized psychosocial activities aim to help children cope with the devastation that surrounds them - UNRWA teams are working to support these children to resume their education as soon as possible.

Homes, roads, schools, health facilities & more have been destroyed in Gaza, resulting in $18.5 billion worth of damage to critical infrastructure as of January.

It will take years to remove 26+ million tonnes of debris & rubble created by the war, according to World Bank.

Wishing all those celebrating Eid Al Fitr in the occupied Palestinian territory and beyond a peaceful & blessed time with families & loved ones.

This Eid comes as the people of #Gaza go through six months of one of the most brutal wars in recent history.
It is very hard to…

#Gaza (2/2): “The lives of 2 million people were turned upside down, often overnight. Many lost the most precious: their loved ones. Everything is in short supply except for grieving hearts' - UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini

Eid Mubarak, wishing a peaceful and blessed Eid al Fitr.

As the blessed month of Ramadan ends, we welcome Eid al-Fitr with our hearts filled with sadness for what is happening in #Gaza , the #WestBank and across the region for those facing conflict, displacement & fear.

'Such an offensive would have disastrous human consequences'

Philippe Lazzarini tells lyse doucet that any military operation in #Rafah would only lead to an additional layer of endless tragedy unfolding. This after an already devastating 6 months of war in📍 #Gaza
