The UN agency hits Gaza’s help effort backed by the United States as

Tel Aviv – The head of the United Nations Agency who supports Palestinian refugees has sentenced a The controversial humanitarian organization backed by the United States and Israeli Operating in Gaza, calling it “an abomination” and “a death trap that costs more lives than it saves.”

Philippe Lazzarini’s statement, UNRWA General Commissioner, criticizing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) occurred when the Gaza Ministry of Health, led by Hamas, said that 79 people had been killed in the Palestinian territory during the previous 24 hours, 51 of those who said they had died near GHF sites.

“There is no food. People are starving, nobody cares about Gaza. No one talks about what is happening in Gaza,” a man told News themezone at Nasser Hospital in Gaza, where injured people were treated for News themezone. “Young men at their best are dying. What leads these young people to go to the help sites? It’s hunger. Hunger fire has devastated people.”

Another man from the Nasser Hospital said: “I send this message to mothers and fathers, not to send their children. Young people who are 17 are dying in vain, only to obtain a hummus or a meal bag to feed their families. The Israeli army lies those who look here. Dying.

“The humanitarian principles must be reinstated,” said Lazzarini in his statement. “The humanitarian community, including UNRWA, has the experience and must be able to do its job and provide assistance with respect and dignity.”

“In Gaza, atrocities continue while global attention changes to other places,” said Lazzarini after 12 days of Air and missile attacks between Israel and Iran. “A confined and captive population is bombarded, besieged and constantly displaced. More than 55,000 people are reported by killing, most of them women and children. Two million people are being hungry, including 1 million children. We have said it several times and say it once again: no place is safe in Gaza, and no one has moved away.”

The News themezone team in Gaza reported a decrease in the intensity of Israeli bombings on Monday, with drones and combat planes in the heavens, but most of the violence that affect people who approach GHF’s ​​help distribution points.

GHF said in a statement on Tuesday that the distribution “in all places continued without incident. However, today GHF formally filed complaints with the IDF regarding cases of possible harassment by Israeli soldiers aimed at our convoys” He went to one of his help centers.

The group also retreated, as it does in all its daily statements, against what it called “false accusations of attacks near the help distributions sites”, added that the “Gaza Ministry of Health affiliated with Hamas is not a credible source of information, since it does not inform the convoys or distribution of the UN that are linked to violent incidents.”

GHF sent an additional statement to News themezone in response to this story, saying in part: “It is unfortunate that both organizations, especially the UN [and the Gaza Ministry of Health]continue to press false information about our operations. We understand that the UN is also trying to deliver help to Gaza, but nevertheless, we are inexplicable about the percentage of their deliveries that are getting out instead of making their final destination. “

The UN help agencies and private organizations have refused to work with GHF, saying that it violates humanitarian principles because it allows Israel to control who receives help and forces people to move to distribution sites, causing more massive displacement in the Palestinian enclave.

“In the background, our help is being fulfilled safely. Instead of discussing and throwing insults from the side, we would welcome the UN and other humanitarian groups to join us and feed people in Gaza. We are ready to collaborate and help them get their help to people in need,” GHF said.

Israel and the United States have said that the new system organized by GHF is necessary to prevent Hamas from diverting help, that the terrorist organization designated by the United States denies doing. The financing and management of GHF has not remained clear since it began operating in mid -May, but has private and well -armed security contractors.

Meanwhile, it was reported that a limited number of trucks that transport humanitarian aid for the non -profit group World Central Kitchen based in the United States entered the Gaza Strip.

Cogat, the agency that coordinates Israel’s operations in the Palestinian territories under the authority of the country’s ministry of defense, said more than one million pounds of baby food had entered Gaza on Monday. Israel’s defense forces said 79 trucks from several aid organizations that transported food and medical supplies had entered Gaza on Monday.

Before and for much of the current war in Gaza, Unrwa provided education, medical care, humanitarian relief and social services to hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees in multiple countries throughout the Middle East, but the group has been accused by the Israeli authorities of links with terrorism.

In January, two Israeli laws entered into force that prohibit UNRWA’s operations in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Israeli officials accused a dozen of Unrwa Gaza staff members of being accomplices in the terrorist attack of October 7 of Hamas, orchestrated in October that caused the war. Lazzarini of Unrwa, after an internal investment of the UN, Nine staff members dismissedBut he said that the agency’s priority continued “to continue life services and critics for Palestine refugees in Gaza and throughout the region.”

A UNRWA later said that the Israeli government had not provided any evidence of its accusations, a position that was supported by an independent review of the posterior UN. However, the accusations against UNRWA led the United States government to temporarily stop their funds for the agency, and President Trump, earlier this year, made the end of the US support for the indefinite agency.

In March, Unrwa issued a public appeal for a resumption of US funds.

“UNRWA’s financial situation is serious,” said Lazzarini on Tuesday. “The cash flow is now managed weekly instead of monthly and much less annual. Without additional funds, I will soon have to make unprecedented decisions that affect our services to Palestine refugees throughout the region. The loss of the stabilizing effect of UNRWA in a region increasingly in tourism will also be consistent.”

Lazzarini emphasized that UNRWA offers a variety of services to the Palestinian refugees that work Palestinian stateif one was created, it could take charge, including education and medical care.

“A genuine political process and linked to time would allow the agency to finally make the transition of its government services to empowered and prepared public institutions that serve the Palestinians,” he said. “In the absence of an orderly transition, the loss or sudden reduction of UNRWA’s services will only deepen suffering and despair throughout the occupied Palestinian territory. It could cause disturbances in neighboring countries. This is something that the region cannot afford, especially now.”
