From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)

A new chokehold on Gaza.

Once again, Israel is renewing its ban on supplies entering Gaza.

After more than two years of unspeakable suffering and a spreading man-made famine, people still lack the most basic supplies, despite increases in aid since the ceasefire.

UNRWA personnel in Gaza keep providing healthcare, learning and clean water — but we must be allowed to do much more and certainly not less.
