NEW YORK, July 21 (Bernama-WAFA) -- The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) renewed its call on Monday to lift the Israeli blockade on the Gaza Strip in order to end the ongoing famine.
According to the Palestine News and Info Agency (WAFA), in a post on its official X account, the agency stated, “We are receiving desperate messages about famine from Gaza — including from our own colleagues.”
UNRWA reported that food prices have surged by 40 times, highlighting the dire humanitarian impact of the continued blockade.
The agency added, “Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Gaza, UNRWA has enough pre-positioned food supplies in its warehouses to cover the needs of the entire population for more than three months.”
UNRWA urgently called for the siege to be lifted and for aid to be allowed in — safely and at scale.
