JAKARTA - Commissioner General of the United Nations Aid and Work Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) Philippe Lazzarini said on Tuesday Israeli occupation authorities had arrested more than 50 UNRWA employees since the start of aggression in the Gaza Strip, including teachers and doctors.
Lazzarini explained that the detainees were subjected to shocking and inhumane violations, including beatings, abuse, and the use of several people as human shields, quoted from WAFA April 30.
Lazzarini further noted that many of them were forced to make forced confessions under pressure.
He described what happened as "terrible and shocking," calling for an international investigation and holding those responsible for the offenses and crimes committed against civilians, who violate international law in the Gaza Strip.
Lazzarini also indicated thousands of tonnes of humanitarian aid were ready to enter Gaza, but the closure of the crossing by occupation authorities prevented this from causing critical supply damage amid the worsening hunger crisis.
