Since one Hamas attack on October 7, Israel has continued to attack the Gaza Strip relentlessly, killing more than 21 thousand Palestinians and injuring others, while Israel lost 1,200 of its citizens as a result of the Hamas attack.
Israel's intense attack has destroyed Gaza where 60 percent of the infrastructure in the Palestinian pockets is destroyed, while 2 million of its population is displaced while facing food shortages, clean water, and medicines.
UNRWA chairman Phillipe Lazzarini added that unobstructed and unconditional humanitarian aid, as well as commercial flows, could ward off the threat of hunger.
