From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)
Circulating unsubstantiated claims to undermine UNRWA: a lifeline for 2 million people is ongoing.
Such claims are threatening the lives and wellbeing of UNRWA staff across the Gaza Strip and?the occupied West Bank.
Dehumanising and polarising statements further deepen people¡¯s suffering. They divert attention from the humanitarian crisis and the immense needs of people impacted by over 1.5 year of a systematic destruction of life.
This is propaganda.
It aims at intimidating and fostering a hostile atmosphere to silence voices showing the ugliness of this brutal war.
Words and statements are a responsibility.
Those using dis-information as a weapon of war must be held accountable.
