The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, denounced the "endless unleashing of the most horrific and inhumane ordeals" on the people of Gaza after Israel renewed its war on the territory.

"It has been nearly three weeks and the Israeli authorities are still preventing the entry of humanitarian aid or essential commercial supplies," Lazzarini said on the X platform.

"Under our daily eyes, the people of Gaza are repeatedly living their worst nightmares. An endless unleashing of the most horrific and inhumane ordeals," he added.

"Evacuation orders have been issued forcing people to flee, affecting tens of thousands of people," Lazzarini said, adding that "the vast majority of them have already been displaced and treated as 'balls' since the beginning of the war, nearly a year and a half ago."

Lazzarini condemned Israel's ban on humanitarian aid entering Gaza, which has been in place since the beginning of March.

He pointed out that "there is no more time. We now need to renew the ceasefire, release all hostages in Gaza in a dignified manner, and facilitate the smooth entry of humanitarian aid and commercial supplies."

The first phase of the ceasefire lasted six weeks, during which 33 Palestinian prisoners, including eight bodies, were released in exchange for more than 1,800 Palestinian prisoners.

However, negotiations conducted during the ceasefire, mediated by Qatar, the United States, and Egypt, to move to the second phase did not progress due to Israel's refusal to implement its obligations to end the war and complete the exchange and reconstruction in the third phase.

Hamas wants to move to the second phase of the agreement, which is supposed to include an end to the war, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the reopening of crossings for the entry of humanitarian aid, and the release of the remaining prisoners.

In contrast, Israel wants to extend the first phase until mid-April and demands the demilitarization of Gaza and the end of Hamas's rule, which has ruled the territory since 2007, before proceeding with the second phase.
