Former UNRWA Director General Philip Laccherini said the Peace Council supports Israel's exclusion of the UN's main aid agency and former international NGO from Gaza's humanitarian response, despite acknowledging that Israel is not providing shelter, drainage and sewage materials to the devastated territory. Lazzarini condemns the committee's failure to use its influence to address what he describes as the "uncompromising dystopian misery" experienced by Palestinians in Gaza.
