Lazzarini: Threat of hunger, disease and death persists in Gaza
New York, November 9 (Hibya) - Philippe Lazzarini, Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), called on the international community to take action, warning that living conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate despite a year having passed since the ceasefire.
UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini appealed to the international community, stating that humanitarian conditions in Gaza had not improved despite a year having passed since the ceasefire.
Lazzarini stated that the people of Gaza were facing many different forms of death, noting that living conditions in the territory were becoming increasingly severe following unfulfilled promises concerning the ceasefire and the Board of Peace.
Comparing the situation in Gaza to the historical experience of Indigenous peoples of America who struggled against hunger, disease and death, Lazzarini warned that the international community might act too late.
"One day, the awakening may come too late. The time to act is now," Lazzarini said.
