UNRWA chief demands stronger Arab League action
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, addressing the leaders gathered in Riyadh, has called on Arab countries to take stronger action to protect civilians in Gaza.
“The Palestinians in Gaza have always relied on the solidarity of the Muslim brothers; today, they need you to turn this solidarity into further and stronger actions,” Lazzarini said.
He added he was in the Saudi capital to seek support for a ceasefire. “I am sure many of you can influence action on the ground – no effort should be spared.”
Lazzarini demanded Arab leaders exercise pressure to increase the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza, including through the opening of one additional border crossing.
He also called for more funds. “We are the last remaining lifeline” for the more than two million civilians in Gaza, he said.s.
