The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, confirmed that Israel does not allow humanitarian aid to enter the northern Gaza Strip.

"Palestinians in northern Gaza are under siege," Lazzarini said in a post on the X platform on Monday.

Pointing out that "the Israeli attacks in the region targeted hospitals, leaving them without electricity, and depriving the wounded of health services."

He also pointed out the severe overcrowding in UNRWA shelters due to Israel's intensified attacks.

He stated that Israel "prevents humanitarian missions from delivering vital aid such as medicine and food to the area," stressing the need to allow relief organizations, including UNRWA, to enter northern Gaza.

"Preventing humanitarian aid or using it as a weapon to achieve military goals is an indication of how low the moral compass is," he added.
