MANHATTAN: United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has taken to the Twitter on Monday (28th October, 2024) to state that a Ceasefire was needed now for the sake of all the children in Gaza as well in the region.
Agency maintains that in the Gaza Strip, “UNRWA teams continue to support children through play and learning activities wherever possible.
“All children, no matter where they are, deserve to go to school, learn. and thrive. We need Ceasefire Now, for the sake of all children…”.
It is pertinent to mention here that 193 UNRWA workers had lost their lives since the Hamas-Israel war commenced till 7th October, 2023.
Calling Gaza the most dangerous place in the world for aid workers, the agency further revealed that never in the history of UN so many aid workers died. Nevertheless, the UN workers remain undeterred and continue to provide aid ‘amid the dire humanitarian crisis’.
UN had been informed by Israel on 24th March, 2024 that it would no longer approve the passage of any United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), food convoys into northern Gaza.
“This is outrageous and makes it intentional to obstruct lifesaving assistance during a man-made famine. These restrictions must be lifted,” UNRWA head Philippe Lazzarini said on social media platform X.
“As of today, UNRWA, the main lifeline for Palestine refugees, is denied from providing lifesaving assistance to northern Gaza,” Lazzarini wrote.
