Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN's Palestinian aid agency UNRWA, strongly condemned Israel's evacuation order for Rafah, impacting over 140,000 residents in an area already devastated by violence, disease, and hunger. He compared the situation to being treated like 'pinballs', as military orders disrupt lives without offering refuge. Following the end of the ceasefire with Hamas, hostilities have intensified throughout Gaza, creating a dire humanitarian crisis. Lazzarini's remarks emphasize the urgent need for a ceasefire and highlight the challenges of finding safety in a besieged region.
"People are treated like pinballs with constant military orders playing with their fate and lives," the UNRWA chief wrote on social media.
Lazzarini condemned the evacuation order that Israel issued for Rafah, affecting over 140,000 people in a territory suffering from "death, diseases, destruction and hunger."
"Where are people supposed to move? Unlike in other conflicts, where populations can find safety, Gaza is being bombarded all across."
