UNRWA: Let UN distribute Gaza aid

Conditions are severe

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) in a post on X has called for investigations into the killing and injury of Palestinians trying to access food through the current US- and Israeli- backed food distribution mechanism in Gaza.

While the previous United Nations-led distribution network operated about 400 sites across the Strip, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, guarded by armed private security contractors working for a US company, has set up only four “mega-sites”, three in the south and one in central Gaza – none in the north, where conditions are most severe.

In its post, UNRWA called for the UN to “do the work” in distributing aid.
