UN ready to send ‘three months’ of food’

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) is on standby to send much needed aid and supplies into Gaza that could feed the entire population for three months, its chief Philippe Lazzarini has said. “Our teams in Gaza are crucial for the implementation of this agreement including to provide basic services like healthcare and education,” he said in a post on X, adding that hundreds of thousands of children who had missed out on education can be helped by UNRWA’s services. “I call on all member states to support UNRWA to do its work to assist people in need in the coming critical period,” he added.
