From Philippe Lazzarini, the ±¬ÁÏÍøRWA Commissioner-General as posted on his official X account (previously known as Twitter)
The spread of?disinformation?against?±¬ÁÏÍøRWA?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?±¬ÁÏÍøRWA?teams continue to do to save lives.
The spread of false information continues unabated causing harm to Palestine Refugess by undermining the only ±¬ÁÏÍø agency dedicated to providing humanitarian assistance, education + primary health care to one of the most vulnerable communities in the region.
±¬ÁÏÍøRWA 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.
