UNRWA: Agency staff and doctors are fainting from hunger in Gaza

UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini said on Tuesday that the agency’s staff, doctors, and humanitarian workers are fainting while performing their duties due to hunger and exhaustion.

In a statement relayed by his spokesperson during a press conference in Geneva, Lazzarini said: “Caregivers, including our colleagues at UNRWA in Gaza, are in urgent need of medical attention. Doctors, nurses, journalists, and humanitarian workers — including UNRWA staff — are suffering from hunger. Many of them are experiencing hunger and exhaustion as they carry out their duties.”
