From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)

A new chokehold on Gaza.

Once again, Israel is renewing its ban on supplies entering Gaza.

After more than two years of unspeakable suffering and a spreading man-made famine, people still lack the most basic supplies, despite increases in aid since the ceasefire.

UNRWA personnel in Gaza keep providing healthcare, learning and clean water ¡ª but we must be allowed to do much more and certainly not less.
