The head of the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency said on Tuesday that its staff members as well as doctors and humanitarian workers are fainting on duty due to hunger and exhaustion.

"No one is spared: caretakers in Gaza are also in need of care. Doctors, nurses, journalists and humanitarians are hungry. Many are now fainting due to hunger and exhaustion while performing their duties: reporting atrocities or alleviating some of the suffering.

Meanwhile, seeking food has become as deadly as the bombardments. More than 1,000 starving people reported killed since end of May. The so called "GHF" distribution schemes is a sadistic death trap.

Snipers open fire randomly on crowds as if they are given a licence to kill. A massive hunt of people, in total impunity. This cannot be our new norm, humanitarian assistance is not the job of mercenaries. The UN and its humanitarian partners have the expertise, experience and available ressources to provide safe, dignified and at scale assistance.

We have proven it time and again during the last ceasefire. End this abomination. Ceasefirenow", - UNRWA commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini said in a statement, shared by his spokesperson at a press briefing in Geneva.
