The UNRWA – United Nations Relief and Works Agency – is said to run out of fuel supply in three days, according to the Director-General Philippe Lazzarini today in a press conference. The UNRWA provides relief for Palestinian refugees. Without fuel, the UNRWA cannot perform its job and provide aid to its fullest extent. With it being such a large component in relief for Gaza, the effects of this would be highly detrimental. Additionally, the news article states that 29 staff members have been killed and 17 injured in the area. With violence increasing daily, relief is necessary to help sustain the community.
