UNRWA: The aid entering the Gaza Strip now is a needle in a haystack

GAZA, May 24 (YPA) – UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said on Friday that the aid entering the Gaza Strip now is a needle in a haystack.

“At a time when Israel has been fully closing Gaza crossings since March 2, the people of Gaza have been starved and deprived of the basics, including water and medicines, for more than 11 weeks,” Lazzarini wrote on X.

“The aid going in now is a needle in a haystack.”

He stressed that “a meaningful and uninterrupted flow of aid is the only way to prevent the current disaster from spiraling further.”

He pointed out that “the least needed is 500-600 trucks every day managed through the UN, including UNRWA.”
