Unrwa says ‘desperate messages of starvation’ received

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) described the starvation in Gaza as a “man made” crisis, and called upon immediate action.

 “Food prices have increased 40 fold. Meanwhile, just outside Gaza, stockpiled in warehouses UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months,” the agency said on a post on X.

It added that it receives “desperate messages of starvation” from inside the Strip, including from its own staff.

“The suffering in Gaza is man made and must be stopped. Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.”
