UNRWA Commissioner: Israel prohibits the entry of life-saving supplies into Gaza
The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said that Israel banned the entry of critical aid - including ventilators and cancer drugs - into Gaza, and returned an aid truck because of medical scissors.
Lazzarini stated in a post on his account on the “X” platform that all residents of Gaza depend on humanitarian aid to survive, and added, “Very little is coming and restrictions are increasing.”
He explained, "A truck loaded with aid was returned because it contained scissors used in medical kits for children."
He stressed that the list includes basic and life-saving materials, including anesthesia medications, solar lights, oxygen cylinders, ventilators, water purification tablets, cancer medications, and maternity supplies.
