Loop “it is no longer a habitable place” and the level of pain and misery is such that the hungry population cannot wait for the distribution of the limited food that comes in and try to get something to eat directly from the trucks, the head of the UN agency for the Palestinians has said.

The commissioner of the United Nations Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, has arrived in Geneva to participate in the Global Refugee Forum directly from Gaza, which he visited for the third time since the start of the waron October 7.

The official denied Israel’s accusations that Hamas members are stealing or diverting humanitarian aid and said that he witnessed firsthand how Gazans “They have started trying to help themselves, They stop the trucks, take the food and eat it immediately, which shows how hungry and desperate they are.” “This has nothing to do with diversion of aid, I didn’t see any weapons. It just has to do with the total hopelessness of the people in Gaza,” he added.

Despite the difficulties with which the Palestinians lived in that territory, “They had never known hunger before; “Now I have found people who had not eaten for three days.” Regarding his previous visit, he commented that he thought the situation could not be worse, but in fact it is.

“Before I saw super overcrowding, there are more than a million people in United Nations facilities, but now I have seen tens of hundreds in the open field“Those who are lucky now in winter are inside, but the rest have nowhere to go,” he said. He said that the latter “are outside, suffering from the cold, in the mud and in the rain.”

Lazzarini said that 135 UNRWA workers have been killed in the Israeli attacks and that he was horrified by the images that circulated this week and that show how the Israeli army explodes a school of this organization for no declared reason. More than a million civilians have sought refuge in the southwestern corner of the Gaza Strip, in the Rafah governorate, which Lazzarini described as the most backward and with little infrastructure in the entire Gaza Strip and that practically overnight Tomorrow it has seen its population multiplied by four. Regarding the financing of his humanitarian operation in the Strip, he said that his organization has only managed to raise half of the necessary funds so far.
