Unrwa chief lists reasons for aid restrictions in Gaza

The commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa), Philippe Lazzaraini, explained why aid is still being constrained in Gaza.

In a post on X, he said that “Israeli military operations and armed Palestinian groups’ activities” were the top reasons for aid restrictions.

He added that the lack of security for humanitarian workers, a near total breakdown of law and order ,and “regular denials and delays by Israeli forces” for coordinated movement and convoys, were also to blame.
