UNRWA: The residents of Gaza live in a state of panic, fear and anxiety, amid a general feeling that there is no safe place
Philip Lazarini, Commissioner -General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees & LDQUO, said that the residents of the Gaza Strip live in a state of panic, fear and anxiety, amid a general feeling that there is no safe place. & quot; Le Monde & quot; French that people there do not know whether they should leave or stay, as the orders of evacuation to the so -called & quot; human areas & quot; It no longer means a lot to them, adding that this feeling stems from a firm impression that the danger exists everywhere. This rooted historical feeling makes the decision to leave painful and complicated for many in Gaza today. For months, the northern Gaza Strip is the most difficult area in the delivery of humanitarian aid, for this reason, I must say that we are facing a fully man -made famine, it could have been avoided.
& nbsp; But everything has deteriorated again since the ceasefire collapsed [في مارس] And the imposition of the siege of suffocating & quot;
& nbsp; [وهي منظمة خاصة تدعمها الولايات المتحدة واختارتها إسرائيل لتنسيق المساعدات في الأراضي الفلسطينية] Then we moved from more than 400 food distribution sites to only four sites, run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Finally, at this point, UNRWA, the backbone of humanitarian aid, was prevented from introducing any supplies. Today, for example, we have sufficient stocks to cover all the needs of Gaza residents for the next three months. In recent months, the condemnation has increased. Increasing genocide, including by the Israelis. This is despite the orders of the International Court of Justice issued in January 2024, which called for measures to prevent the so -called & quot; collective genocide & quot;
& nbsp;
and expressed his belief that there is a risk that we get used to this horror, and that we get used to the fact that there is, in my opinion, deliberate and artificial famine. This indifference, this inaction, and this negativity is increasingly similar to the implicit collusion of what is happening in the Gaza Strip.
& nbsp; There is a very wide range of it, used in many conflicts, but until now, we have not seen anything like this in the case of Gaza in the region or in the countries of the south, this contributes to promoting the feeling that international law, Geneva Conventions, or human rights, in fact, are not necessarily global, and that it is increasingly applied in a varying way. We cannot assert that we do not know. Everything happens in the actual time, in front of our eyes. Everything is exposed to social media, it is clear that the absence of international journalists from Gaza allows the emergence of a dual narrative, where every person can support any side he prefers.
& nbsp; The process of recognizing the State of Palestine, beyond the countries that have already recognized it, can change the course of things, saying it is a good and important, but it is not sufficient, and it comes late.
& nbsp;
& nbsp; Once we take the step of recognition does not mean that we must consider ourselves to have provided enough for the Palestinians or that we support the two -state solution, this must be just the beginning of a commitment, the beginning of a practical, and that recognition of the Palestinian state must allow these countries themselves to say that if the rights of that state are violated, they will have to take measures. Sufficient resources to carry out its operations for the benefit of Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon and Jordan, he said I am very concerned about the financial resources of our agencies. I told the League of Arab States on Thursday that we have sufficient resources to pay the salaries of September, but I have no clear vision after that. Regarding aid, we currently have sufficient resources in our warehouses for the next three months to cover the entire Gaza Strip.
& nbsp; We are struggling daily to maintain UNRWA’s continuity, and he continued, “I hope this situation will improve in the coming weeks. Our agency will seek to focus on the issue of education, which is a top priority. We have more than 600 thousand girls and a boy at the age of primary and secondary school, now suffer from psychological shocks and live under the ruins of Gaza. The future & quot;. To ask how to contribute to UNRWA & quot; In the post -war thinking in Gaza, Lazarini said, “We were subjected to political pressure with a declared goal of dismantling the agency. United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guterres assigned a strategic evaluation of UNRWA a few months ago.
& nbsp; And looking at what can be done, and how a two -state solution can become a tangible reality. Its future.
& nbsp; UNRWA’s relations with Israel deteriorated, where the Hebrew state accused the agency of colluding with the Palestinian Hamas movement, an accusation denied by the United Nations internal investigations.
