Post von Philippe Lazarine, UNRWA 30 a day. That's the daily average of humanitarian trucks the Israeli Authorities allowed into Gaza last month (October 2024). This is the lowest in a long time, bringing the assistance back to the level of the beginning of the war. This cannot meet the needs of over 2 million people, many of whom are starving, sick, and in desperate conditions. It represents only 6% of the supplies (commercial + humanitarian) allowed into Gaza before the war. Meanwhile, UNRWA continues to distribute whatever is allowed in: e Since the war began, we provided more than 1.9 million people with food aid. ¢ We reached hundreds of thousands of people in and around our shelters with basic supplies. e As the largest primary health care provider, our teams provided over 6 million medical consultations. e Much more must be allowed in including through UNRWA, the largest humanitarian organisation and service provider in Gaza. Restricting humanitarian access and at the same time dismantling UNRWA will add an additional layer of suffering to already unspeakable suffering. Only a political will can put an end to a politically made s situation. {{2‘} unrwa — Philippe Lazzarini, UNRWA Commissioner General o
