UNRWA's chief urged global support for its vital Gaza reconstruction role, warning against exclusion and ineffective alternatives.
UNRWA's commissioner-general, Philippe Lazzarini, stressed the agency's crucial role in Gaza's reconstruction during UN meetings in New York, emphasizing its 12,000 staff provide essential health, education, and welfare services amid ongoing conflict.
He said UNRWA was not consulted on the U.S. peace plan and criticized a proposed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation as ineffective and harmful, warning it could worsen hunger.
Lazzarini called for a lasting ceasefire and highlighted UNRWA’s unmatched expertise in rebuilding Palestinian institutions, noting its potential support for Palestinian Authority governance post-ceasefire.
Despite Israel’s boycott and legislation targeting the agency, he affirmed UNRWA’s vital mission and its central place in Gaza’s future.
