UNRWA: Our warehouses in Egypt, Jordan are full; Israel must let us bring aid into Gaza

CAIRO - 23 August 2025: UNRWA posted Tuesday on its official Twitter account saying that famine witnessed in Gaza City can be stopped.

"Reverse the ongoing catastrophe - flood Gaza with a massive scale up of aid through the United Nations including UNRWA," the tweet read.

It also continued saying that "UNRWA’s warehouses alone in Jordan and Egypt are full.There is enough food, medicines and hygiene supplies ready to fill 6,000 trucks."

UNRWA ended the tweet saying: "The State of Israel must let us bring aid into Gaza."

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the results of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis were no mystery: “It is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment – and a failure of humanity itself.

“Famine is not about food; it is the deliberate collapse of the systems needed for human survival.”

Famine conditions are projected to spread from Gaza Governorate to Deir Al Balah and Khan Younis Governorates in the coming weeks, the IPC estimates.

UN agencies have collectively and consistently highlighted the extreme urgency of delivering immediate and full-scale humanitarian aid given the escalating hunger-related deaths, rapidly worsening levels of acute malnutrition and plummeting levels of food consumption in Gaza – with hundreds of thousands going days without anything to eat.
