UNRWA Sounds Alarm Over Gaza's 'Overwhelming' Humanitarian Crisis
The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has issued a desperate plea for Gaza, calling current aid deliveries 'not even a drop in the ocean' compared to what's needed. With only flour trickling through blocked supply routes, spokesperson Jonathan Fowler told CGTN: 'We need 500-600 trucks daily just for survival – right now, we’re nowhere close.'
🚚 Blockades & Tragedy
Over 300 UNRWA staff have been killed while trying to distribute supplies, many alongside family members. 'Our 12,000 workers risk everything daily,' Fowler said, describing 'immense' challenges delivering aid beyond southern Gaza’s Khan Younis due to Israeli restrictions.
🌍 A Global Call to Action
UNRWA urges immediate, unhindered aid access: 'This isn’t politics – it’s about preventing starvation.' With 2.2 million residents facing dire shortages, the agency warns the world: 'The clock is ticking.'
