The head of the UN agency for Palestinians has said its staff are fainting from hunger as the starvation crisis in Gaza resulting from an Israeli blockade on most aid into the territory worsens.
“People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive, they are walking corpses,” Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa) said in a post on X.
