The largest UN agency in the Gaza Strip is on the verge of collapse.
Gaza-based staff of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, have moved to Rafah near the border with Egypt and are working from the same building as "thousands of desperate displaced people," said Philippe Lazzarini, the Commissioner-General. of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East.
"Gaza is drowning and it seems the world has now lost its humanity," he said in a stern speech from the agency's headquarters in East Jerusalem on Sunday.
"If we look at the issue of water, we all know that water is life. Gaza is running out of water, running out of life. Soon, I believe, with this there will be no food or medicine either,” Lazzarini said, calling the siege in Gaza nothing but collective punishment.
"Before it is too late, the siege must be lifted and aid agencies must be able to safely bring in essential supplies such as fuel, water, food and medicine. And we need that now," he added.
