UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini urged global action against Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza, which have escalated since the ceasefire with Hamas ended nearly a month ago, resulting in over 1,100 Palestinian deaths and a blockade on humanitarian aid. The crisis has worsened, with more than 400 aid workers killed since October 7, 2023, including nearly 300 UNRWA staff members. Lazzarini’s discussion with Redi Tlhabi on UpFront highlights the urgent need for justice and accountability for war crime victims amidst the dire situation in Gaza.
