UNRWA chief says Gaza streets overflowing with sewage UNRWA Philippe Lazzarini, the commissioner general of UNRWA (the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees), has just given a press conference, where he spoke about the situation on the ground in Gaza and the urgent need for more humanitarian aid to be let into the territory. "As we speak, people in Gaza are dying, basic services are crumbling,” he tells the journalists present. He adds that food and water are running out, while the streets have started "overflowing with sewage". "Gaza is on the brink of a massive health hazard and the risk of diseases are looming," Lazzarini says. "A few days ago, | warned that we would not be able to continue our humanitarian operation if we do not get fuel supplies. My warning still stands." He says in the last few days UNWRA has "drastically limited" its consumption of fuel.
