Genocide In Gaza: UNRWA boss slams Gaza aid distribution mechanism

… says, mechanism costing more lives than it saves

United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has slammed Gaza Aid Distribution Mechanism.

The mechanism it said has cursed more harm than good.

The UNRWA chief, Philippe Lazzarini told the Caux Democracy Forum that “nowhere [in Gaza] is safe”, condemning the distribution of aid under the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) as “costing more lives than it saves”.

More than 55,000 people he said have been reported killed in Gaza, “mostly women and children”, and accused Israel of “weaponising humanitarian assistance”.

Lazzarini said the GHF has replaced what he described as the “principled” United Nations-led effort, adding that the new system forces starving Palestinians to “walk for miles, and stand for hours in wired enclosures, in blistering heat”.

“They are shot at, and hundreds have been killed and injured.”

UNRWA itself has lost more than 320 staff and seen most of its buildings destroyed since the start of the war, he said. Without accountability, Lazzarini warned, “we set a dangerous precedent”.

He closed his speech by urging “a meaningful political pathway that addresses the longstanding question of Palestine”.

At least 78 people have  been reported killed at the early down of today, Tuesday.
