In a heartbreaking statement, the head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, has accused Israel of orchestrating a cruel and Machiavellian scheme to kill in Gaza. He warned that Israel Turning Gaza into Graveyard of starving children and innocent civilians, where people are being killed simply for trying to receive aid. According to Lazzarini, Israel turning Gaza into graveyard is not just a figure of speech it reflects the horrifying reality unfolding as humanitarian efforts are repeatedly targeted.
Lazzarini revealed that since May, around 800 Palestinians have been killed while waiting for food. He described the situation as a terrifying choice between starvation or being shot. His comments came after Israeli forces killed 15 people, nine of them children, who were waiting in line for nutritional supplements in Deir el-Balah. On the same day, 45 more civilians were killed across Gaza, including 11 near a GHF-run aid center in Rafah.
Israel Turning Gaza into Graveyard: A Grim Reality Unfolds
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a US- and Israel-backed organization, has sidelined the UN’s established aid network, leading to chaos. UN reports show 819 Palestinians have died while waiting for food since GHF began its operations. Out of those, 634 were killed near GHF sites and 185 near UN or other aid convoys. This alarming pattern has led the international community to believe that Israel is turning Gaza into ‘graveyard’ zones, even at aid distribution points.
Even more disturbing, credible reports from Haaretz and the Associated Press confirm that Israeli soldiers and US contractors have admitted to shooting unarmed Palestinians gathering for food. Despite this, aid efforts continue with extreme risk and minimal access, sparking global outrage.
Ceasefire Talks Near Collapse Over Aid Dispute
Efforts to secure a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal are now hanging by a thread. Talks in Doha between Israel and Hamas, mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the US, have failed to reach an agreement, mainly over the aid delivery process. Hamas insists on using trusted UN and international agencies. At the same time, Israel wants GHF to control distribution, adding to the fear that Israel is turning Gaza into ‘graveyard’ territory by blocking neutral aid channels.

Palestinian negotiators claim Israel deliberately stalled progress, using Prime Minister Netanyahu’s US visit as a delay tactic. While Israeli officials speak of progress, insiders reveal that no real authority was granted to negotiators to finalize a deal. With critical issues like humanitarian aid and military withdrawal still unresolved, hopes for peace remain bleak. Meanwhile, civilians continue to bear the brunt of the crisis a grim reality that aligns with growing accusations of Israel turning Gaza into graveyard of innocent lives and shattered futures.
As conditions worsen, the global community is increasingly alarmed that Israel is turning Gaza into ‘graveyard’ through targeted killings, aid blockades, and relentless violence. Lazzarini’s words echo a painful reality: Israel is turning Gaza into graveyard for those who simply want to survive.
