“I don’t know where my leg went. At the hospital, I heard them say it was left under the rubble and that it will never come back” (Malak, age 6).

In #Gaza, countless children have been injured, many losing limbs or living with lifelong disabilities. Their needs are immense.

UNRWA teams continue to provide health services and care to help children rebuild their lives.

#UNRWAworks

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Over 660,000 children in #Gaza have been out of school for more than two years. All they want is to get back to the classroom - even if that's just a tent.

UNRWA team members are working non-stop to provide learning, play and counselling for children, scaling up operations every day.

In parallel, nearly 300,000 children are accessing basic literacy and numeracy lessons remotely, supported by thousands of dedicated UNRWA teachers.

It’s time to bring all children back to school. To let children be children again.

#UNRWAworks

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

For children who have known only war and displacement for over two years, learning offers hope and healing.

Restoring education is at the heart of UNRWA's work. All the children, no matter where they are, deserve the chance to learn, play, and dream again.

UNRWA’s humanitarian supplies — food, hygiene kits, medicine, shelter items — are sitting in warehouses outside #Gaza - banned from entering by the State of Israel.

We have enough food for the entire population for 3 months waiting in Egypt and Jordan.

There’s no more time to lose - we need a green light to start bringing in UNRWA’s supplies immediately so our teams can deliver them to people in need.

The ban on UNRWA’s aid must be lifted.

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

Thx to our @UNRWA teams for documenting the war & its devastating impact on the people in #Gaza.

Given the ban on international media, their work is even more important in bearing witness to the atrocities.

#Gaza:

Lift the siege and allow a flow of humanitarian aid through the U.N. including UNRWA.

End the bombardments and forced displacements.

#CeasefireNow

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

“It’s more and more difficult to describe the humanitarian situation. I think what Palestinians in #Gaza are going through, it's hell in all its possible facets,” says @UNazzarini to @‌CGTNOfficial.

Again and again, there must be a #CeasefireNow.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

According to a rapid needs assessment in #Gaza by the IRC, one in three young children went a full day without food in the past 24 hours.

The toll on children and their childhood is unbearable. Many are being forced into begging, looting or child labour.

Gaza’s children need a #CeasefireNow.

.@theIPCinfo has just confirmed #famine in #Gaza governorate.

This man-made, widespread malnutrition means that even common and usually mild diseases like diarrhoea are becoming fatal, especially for children.

Gaza must be urgently supplied with food and medicines. Aid blockages must end!

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

The humanitarian community calls for an end to the so called "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" (GHF) since it provides nothing but starvation and gunfire to the people of #Gaza.

Since this scheme began, at least 500 starving people have been reported killed and nearly 4,000 injured while desperately struggling to get food.

Under this new abomination, Gaza has gone from 400 aid distribution points to only four militarized distribution sites.

Today, 130+ NGOs have called for the restoration of a unified, UN-led coordination and distribution based on international humanitarian law inclusive of @UNRWA.

“UNRWA has been banned by the State of Israel. We haven’t been allowed to bring in any supplies since 2 March (for more than 4 months now).”

Our UNRWA @JulietteTouma tells @SkyNews.

A #Ceasefire and lifting the siege are urgently needed to prevent further catastrophe in #Gaza.

#Gaza: the new aid distribution system has become a killing field.

Over 400 starving people reported killed since it started operating just a month ago.
They were shot at while trying to access food for themselves & their families.
Testimonies are coming out that soldiers opened fire indiscriminately.
In the chaos, children were separated from their families: disoriented & traumatized.

The system falls far from abiding to the principle of humanity.
It is not designed to address hunger and is often justified using the pretext of aid diversion that is yet to be substantiated let alone proven.

Instead of "orderly food distribution”, this system brings dehumanization, chaos & death.

This cannot become the new norm.
This abomination must end through a return to humanitarian deliveries from the UN including @UNRWA.

A ceasefire is needed & the siege must be lifted to bring back a standard flow of basics including food, medicine, soap and fuel.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

“According to @UNICEF, 50,000 boys and girls have been killed or injured in just 20 months,” UNRWA’s @JulietteTouma tells @rte.

Civilians, including children, humanitarian and medical workers, first responders, and journalists, continue to be killed and injured in the Gaza Strip.

No one is safe, no one is spared, no place is safe in #Gaza.

We are back to the blaming game while the people of #Gaza are starving + trying to survive heavy bombardments.

There are reports that 900 trucks were sent in the past two weeks.
That’s just over 10 per cent of the daily needs of people in #Gaza

The aid that’s being sent now makes a mockery to the mass tragedy unfolding under our watch.

During the ceasefire earlier this year - when bureaucratic & security restrictions were lifted by political will- the UN including @UNRWA brought in 600 to 800 trucks a day.

No diversion of aid was reported.
This is how we collectively turned the tide & prevented a man made famine.

The current mass starvation can be stopped. It takes political will.

We are not asking for the impossible. Allow the UN including UNRWA & humanitarian partners to do our work: assist people in need and preserving their dignity.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

“What I do know is that people in Gaza are going through so much suffering. It’s extremely difficult to put into words,” UNRWA @JulietteTouma to @BBCNews.

The needs are clear: 500–600 trucks of supplies must enter #Gaza daily. This can only be achieved through the United Nations under the leadership of UNRWA.

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

Children in #Gaza want to be just that: children

#CeasefireNow

[UNRWA @UNRWA]

“You have the whole UN and all the NGOs with supplies sitting and waiting. If all of these supplies are allowed in, it will diffuse the situation massively.” @UNWateridge tells @theipaper

UNRWA is ready to scale up the delivery of critical supplies and services in #Gaza. There must be a rapid, safe, and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance at scale to avert famine, alleviate widespread suffering, and prevent further loss of life.
