From Philippe Lazzarini, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)
The manmade famine in Gaza has been largely shaped by the deliberate attempts to replace the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ coordinated humanitarian system through the politically motivated ¡°GHF¡±. It is a so called ¡°aid system¡± responsible for the killing of nearly 1,400 starving people.
All has been further deepened by preventing Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA, the backbone of humanitarian response, to bring in any assistance to Gaza for five months now (since 2 March).
Sidelining and weakening Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA has nothing to do with claims of aid diversion to armed groups.
It is a deliberate measure to collectively pressure and punish Palestinians for living in Gaza.
No time to waste anymore, a political decision must be made to unconditionally open the crossings.
Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA has the experience, staff and resources to contribute full scale and reverse the famine.
