Geneva – Together – The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, said today, Tuesday, that 160 of the agency’s headquarters in the Gaza Strip were ‘completely destroyed.’

Lazzarini said in a press conference held at the United Nations headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland: ‘We have sufficient funding until the end of next June after a number of countries resumed funding the agency.’

Lazzarini reiterated his welcome to the report of the Agency’s Independent Review Group, noting that some of the report’s recommendations can be implemented quickly while others require additional staff and strong commitment and support from Member States.

The UNRWA Independent Review Group report, which was published on Monday, stated that the agency has established a large number of mechanisms and procedures to ensure its commitment to humanitarian principles, focusing on the principle of neutrality.

The report stated that the agency follows a more a
dvanced approach to neutrality than any other similar international or non-governmental body.

‘Because of the complexity of the environment in which we operate, we have to be very vigilant and we can always do more,’ Lazzarini said, explaining that he held a meeting with member states and informed them that the agency is currently preparing to update its response plan.

He added: ‘We will ensure that partners are aware of the actions that have already been taken in line with the recommendations contained in the report.’

Lazzarini explained that the Independent Review Group’s report has nothing to do with the investigation conducted by the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services into the Israeli allegations.

He recalled the briefing he gave to members of the Security Council, in which he said that the issue of neutrality was not necessarily the motive behind the attack on UNRWA, noting that the primary motive for the attack was ‘to strip the Palestinians of their refugee status.’

He added: “Th
is is the reason behind the pressures that the agency is currently under to not be present not only in Gaza, but we are also exposed to pressures in Jerusalem and the West Bank.”

He said that he called on the Security Council to conduct an independent investigation and ensure accountability for the blatant disregard for the sanctity of the United Nations buildings, its staff and its operation in the Gaza Strip, recalling that to date, 280 United Nations staff have been killed.

He added: ‘More than 160 UNRWA buildings were damaged or completely destroyed, and at least 400 people were killed inside them as they sought protection under the UN flag. We also have reports that our buildings, which were evacuated, have been used for military purposes… and arrests have also been made.’ Our employees were subjected to ill-treatment, if not torture.”

He pointed out that the average number of trucks that entered Gaza reached 200 trucks during the month of April, and the entry of trucks reached its peak yesterday, M
onday, when 360 trucks entered. This represents a positive trend compared to previous months, he said.

But the Commissioner-General also pointed to concerns with the advent of summer and the renewed outbreak of diseases, especially in the south, noting that garbage collection has become a priority to prevent the spread of diseases.

He also noted the deep concern over the possibility of a looming Israeli military attack on Rafah, ‘which appears to have been back on the table.’

Beit Lijam – Together – European Union foreign policy official Josep Borrell said that the cities of the Gaza Strip were subjected to greater destruction than German cities were exposed to during World War II.

He confirmed that more than 60% of the infrastructure in Gaza was damaged, of which 35% was completely destroyed, and pointed out that 249 humanitarian workers have been killed since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

During a speech he delivered at a plenary session of the European Parliament in the French city of Strasbourg, Borrell called on Israel to “respect international law, implement the interim measures of the International Court of Justice, and ensure the protection of all civilians.”

Gaza – Together – Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman, Abu Ubaida, said in a video speech, Tuesday evening, that the Israeli army ‘is still trying to restore its image, and is only getting more disgrace and disgrace,’ stressing that the government of Benjamin Netanyahu It is trying to convince the world that it has eliminated the Qassam Brigades, and that only those remaining in Rafah remain.

Abu Ubaida stated, ‘Iran’s response, in its size and nature, established new rules and confused Israel’s calculations,’ referring to the unprecedented attack carried out by Iran on the night of Saturday and Sunday, during which it launched hundreds of drones and missiles towards Israel, most of which were intercepted before they reached the country.

The Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman stated, ‘The enemy is still stuck in the sands of Gaza, after 200 days, with no goal, no horizon, and no liberation for its prisoners.’

This is the most important statement of Al-Qassam Brigades spokesman Abu Ubaida:

200 days after the Battle of
Al-Aqsa Flood, the criminal enemy is still trying to restore its image.

The enemy is still stuck in the sands of Gaza.

The enemy will reap nothing but shame and defeat.

200 days and our resistance in Gaza is as solid as the mountains of Palestine.

We only documented a small amount of our heroes’ attacks on the enemy.

We will continue our strikes and resistance as long as the occupation’s aggression or its presence continues on any inch of our land.

The occupation forces are trying to convince the world that they have eliminated all resistance factions, and this is a big lie.

In 200 days, the enemy could only achieve mass massacres, destruction and killing.

We will not give up the basic rights of our people, most notably withdrawal, lifting the siege, and the return of the displaced to their homes.

The enemy is trying to renounce all his promises in the negotiations and wants to gain more time.

The ball is in the court of whoever is concerned among the enemy’s fans, but time is limited and opportunit
ies are few.

The so-called military pressure will only push us to maintain our positions and preserve the rights of our people and not neglect them.

We appreciate every military and popular effort that joined the Al-Aqsa flood, especially the fighting fronts in Lebanon, Yemen and Iraq.

The hysterical reaction to resistance action on various fronts indicates the importance of resistance action.

The first front of the resistance is the West Bank front, and we salute every inch of our free and proud West Bank.

Iran’s response, in its size and nature, established new rules and confused the enemy’s calculations.

We call on the masses of our nation to escalate their movement in support of the resistance.

The resistance will remain faithful to the sacrifices of our people, and we bear their pain and hopes.

Gaza – Together Report – Anxiety and tension prevail among hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the Rafah Governorate, south of the Gaza Strip, in light of the increasing frequency of Israeli threats to invade the city, similar to what happened in most areas of the Gaza Strip.

Tens of thousands of displaced residents of Khan Yunis to Rafah began returning to what remained of their homes and trying to reclaim a place to live if Israeli forces entered Rafah.

Crowds of displaced people were seen in the streets of Khan Yunis, especially the village of Abasan, working to restore life to the village that was invaded about two months ago. Other numbers went to set up tents in the Al-Mawasi area.

Public committees are erecting 500 tents for the displaced in the corridors of the European Hospital, southeast of Khan Yunis, to give medical teams the opportunity to work freely.

Most of the residents of the city of Rafah are still in their homes, awaiting the unknown, amid their fear of moving to the central a
rea of ??the Strip, which is also threatened by invasion.

The United States of America and Egypt oppose Israel’s invasion of Rafah for fear of major massacres occurring in light of the presence of one and a half million citizens, and for fear that the operations will lead to displaced people storming the Egyptian border to escape death.
