Israel turning Gaza into ‘graveyard of children and starving’: UNRWA chief
Al JazeeraFriday, July 11, 2025 at 9:31:02 PM
The head of the UN's relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) has accused Israel of transforming Gaza into a "graveyard of children and starving" civilians, citing devastating conditions since May. According to UN reports, around 800 Palestinians have been killed at aid distribution sites—many operated by the Global Humanitarian Fund (GHF), which receives backing from the US and Israel but faces criticism over its effectiveness and neutrality.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another grim headline—it’s a stark warning from a top UN official about the scale of suffering in Gaza. The accusation that aid efforts are failing (or worse, being undermined) adds fuel to debates over who’s responsible for civilian deaths and whether international systems meant to protect vulnerable populations are broken. With trust eroding and casualties mounting, the story underscores how geopolitical tensions are playing out in real-time, with dire human consequences.
