Throughout the Strip, humanitarian needs remain huge as conflict, displacement, and restrictions continue to dominate daily life, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) affirmed on its X profile.

However, it ensured that its teams remain on the ground, providing essential services under increasingly difficult conditions.

UNRWA Senior Communications Manager Jonathan Fowler warned on Sunday of the risks posed by the new restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities on NGOs operating in the coastal enclave, which has been devastated after two years of aggression.

Fowler underscored that these measures further complicate the humanitarian response at a time when the population is in dire need of assistance.

He emphasized that Gaza urgently needs increased humanitarian aid at this stage, not additional restrictions.
