United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has reached “breaking point,” Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said in the letter addressed to the United Nations, stressing that the agency’s ability to execute its duties is now “seriously threatened.”
“In just over four months in Gaza, there have been more children, more journalists, more medical personnel, and more UN staff killed than anywhere in the world during a conflict,” Lazzarini wrote, underscoring that “the last remaining hospitals are collapsing.” According to the UN experts, “famine is imminent” as a result of Israel’s repeated calls to dismantle UNRWA and suspend donors’ funding which is essential for Gaza.
“I fear we are on the edge of a monumental disaster with grave implications for regional peace, security, and human rights,” Lazzarini warned.
