Philippe Lazzarini, head of UNRWA, has issued a stark condemnation of the conditions in Gaza, describing it as a ‘graveyard of children and starving people.’ He alleges a deliberate strategy by Tel Aviv to inflict harm. Recent data from Gaza’s government office indicates at least 773 Palestinians have died and over 5,100 have been injured since late May while awaiting food aid. Lazzarini emphasized that inaction and silence are complicities, and people in Gaza face death by starvation or being shot. His remarks follow the killing of 15 people by the Israeli military near an aid center. The UN human rights office reported nearly 800 deaths near aid distribution points. Reports have surfaced that Israeli soldiers and US contractors working with the GHF have admitted to shooting unarmed Palestinians seeking food. The WFP is reporting a severe humanitarian crisis, despite having food supplies ready to be distributed.
