From Philippe Lazzarini, the UNRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)

 

The spread of disinformation against UNRWA is meant to create chaos & divert attention from the political aims to dismantle the Agency.

It is distraction from what really matters: The devastating impact the war in Gaza & the region is having on civilians & the work that our UNRWA teams continue to do to save lives.

The spread of false information continues unabated causing harm to Palestine Refugess by undermining the only UN agency dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance, education + primary health care to one of the most vulnerable communities in the region.

UNRWA is the international community’s instrument put in place to address the plight of Palestine refugees in the absence of an alternative & until a just political solution is found. 

Most importantly, this dis-information campaign is putting the lives of my colleagues in the occupied Palestinian territory including Gaza at further risk.

Before you share, double check the source & question the intent. Ask, why is this information out there?

Avoid becoming an echo for disinformation & de facto of fueling hate.

It’s more harmful than you think.
