Philippe Lazzarini, chief of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, has said that all crossings into Gaza should be opened as aid coming in through Rafah was inadequate. Lazzarini said there was need for a meaningful and continuous humanitarian aid to Gaza, including fuel. The UNRWA chief added that he was concerned about the spillover risk of the situation in Gaza. The West Bank “is boiling”, he said.
