The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) has warned of an unprecedented Humanitarian Catastrophe in Gaza. The agency's Commissioner-General, Philippe Lazzarini, stated that Gaza is running out of water, electricity, food, and medicine. The blockade on Gaza has been in place for 16 years, and now, after the recent conflict, the situation has worsened. Over 1 million people have been forced to flee their homes, and at least 400,000 displaced individuals are seeking refuge in UNRWA schools and buildings. Lazzarini called for the lifting of the siege and a suspension of hostilities for humanitarian reasons.
