UNRWA calls for long-term ceasefire for Gaza
New York, July 28 (Hibya) – The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has called for a long-term ceasefire as part of an agreement that would ease the suffering of those dying from hunger, ensure an uninterrupted flow of basic supplies, and secure the release of all hostages.
In its statement, UNRWA said it welcomes the announcements suggesting that restrictions on humanitarian aid to Gaza may be eased.
UNRWA expressed hope that it would be allowed to bring in thousands of trucks filled with food, medicine, and hygiene products, noting that a green light is currently awaited from Jordan and Egypt.
The statement emphasized that opening all crossings and delivering aid to Gaza is the only way to prevent further deepening of hunger among the population.
“What is needed is at least 500–600 trucks of essential supplies every day. According to our latest data, 1 in 5 children in Gaza is malnourished. More children are reportedly dying from hunger, bringing the death toll to over 100.”
The statement once again called for a long-term ceasefire as part of a deal to provide relief to the hungry, ensure steady aid delivery, and secure the release of all hostages.
