JAKARTA - Commissioner General of the United Nations Aid and Work Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) Philippe Lazzarini stressed that the destruction in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israeli aggression was "unprecedented", with the destruction of UNRWA having been one of the goals of war.
Lazzarini said in a press conference in Berlin, "there is a growing feeling that international law is implemented selectively, especially with what is happening in Gaza," quoted from WAFA Oct. 17.
He further said, "About 70 percent of the infrastructure in the Gaza Strip has been destroyed," while "the situation in Gaza is dire for professional aid workers, and its destruction rate has never happened before."
He continued, "the majority of the population of the Gaza Strip are crammed into areas that do not exceed 10 percent of the entire Palestinian enclave," and "about 400,000 people are trapped in the northern Gaza Strip."
He stressed that "Israel does not allow international media to go to Gaza, and information coming from there is limited."
