UNRWA teams are staying in #Gaza and continue to deliver essential services including primary health care, water, sanitation and shelter management.
During the ceasefire earlier this year, we reached over 2 million people with food assistance.
Since 2 March, UNRWA has not been allowed to bring aid in.
In August famine was confirmed in Gaza City.
This starvation is man-made by the Government of Israel. It is the direct result of banning food and other basic supplies for almost 7 months, including from UNRWA.
The siege must be lifted.
Our teams are ready to distribute aid in a safe and dignified way to the people in need.
Let us do our work.

People in Gaza City are facing daily bombardment, famine and compromised access to means of survival.
Israeli Forces placed the entire city under a displacement order. But people have nowhere to go to. There is no safe place in #Gaza.

"#Gaza has been the battleground of a fierce and rampant information war.
Disinformation continues to be used as a tool to distract from the atrocities in the war-torn enclave."
