UNRWA: Deliberate efforts to spread misinformation must be stopped
New York, September 1 (Hibya) - UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini stated that deliberate efforts to spread misinformation must be stopped and investigated.
Commissioner-General Lazzarini noted that the spread of false information and misinformation continues to be used as a weapon in the war in Gaza.
Lazzarini stated that as part of a campaign to weaken and discredit UNRWA, the Israeli government has purchased advertisements to prevent users from donating to the agency and to conduct a smear campaign.
"UNRWA is the largest humanitarian organization responding to the crisis in Gaza. This damages the agency's reputation and, more importantly, puts our staff's lives at risk. These deliberate efforts to spread misinformation must be stopped and investigated," said Lazzarini.
