Our UNRWA staff are struggling to find food yet continue to work.

Reposted by Elaine Farrell UNRWA @unrwa.org · 23/07/2025“Gaza is hell on earth. Our own staff are fainting on duty from hunger and exhaustion,” says UNRWA Juliette Touma to BBC. During the ceasefire, 500–600 trucks a day entered #Gaza with aid from the UN, including UNRWA. That’s what prevented famine before. That system must be restored. 14841
Reposted by Elaine Farrell UNRWA @unrwa.org · 21/07/2025We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues. Food prices have increased 40 fold. UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza. Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale. 12657546
