While too many of our staff are being killed as our buildings are attacked in #Gaza, @UNRWA continues to be the target of misinformation and disinformation attacks.
These aim at distracting from the atrocities of the war, dehumanising people, and undermining & eliminating UNRWA.
#Gaza: too many of our staff are being killed as our buildings are attacked.
At the same time, @UNRWA continues to be the target of a barrage of misinformation & disinformation.
This includes attempts of justifying the killing of staff by labeling them operatives of armed groups like Hamas.
Such horrific claims, made publicly, are not backed by evidence & are dangerous.
Most importantly, they instigate fear among our humanitarian frontline workers in Gaza.
Several colleagues told us they no longer feel safe to put on the UNRWA vest.
Their children are begging them not to go to work fearing they might be killed while in UNRWA buildings.
The misinformation attacks are not about the neutrality of #UNRWA or our humanitarian workers.
They aim at:
- Creating distraction from the atrocities of this war.
- Dehumanization by rendering the unbearable justifiable.
- Undermining & eliminating UNRWA, the largest humanitarian provider in Gaza including for food, shelter and health care.
Everyone has a responsibility to control the spread of inaccurate or malicious information.
Before sharing, check the facts to avoid the trap of putting the lives of others at risk. - Philippe Lazzarini
