NEW YORK, July 4, 2025 (WAFA) — The UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)warned that starvation is increasingly prevalent in the Gaza Strip, with people fainting in the streets from hunger. The agency warns that the current aid distribution system has humiliated and dehumanized hungry, frightened, wounded, and exhausted families.
“No person, anywhere, should be forced to choose between risking their life and feeding their family,” UNRWA emphasized, noting that during the ceasefire period, the UN—including UNRWA—demonstrated it could deliver life‑saving aid safely and at scale across Gaza.
UNRWA pleaded: “We have the systems, the expertise, and the will. What we need is access. Lift the siege. Let us do our job.”
