Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has released a video criticizing Israel's actions in Gaza and urging support for UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. In the video, Guardiola accused the Israeli government of mass killing and hindering humanitarian aid, stating that "tens of thousands of people" have been murdered. He emphasized that these are not mere numbers but lives with families, dreams, and memories, decrying the dehumanization of Palestinians and asserting that their lives and pain are as significant as anyone else's.
Guardiola specifically cited the ongoing suffering of children in Gaza, describing scenes of them searching for parents among rubble and enduring hunger. He alleged that the Israeli government has killed over 34,000 people in Gaza and continues to obstruct humanitarian aid. The manager also mentioned the destruction of Palestinian homes and forced displacement in the West Bank.
A significant portion of the video was dedicated to UNRWA's work, which Guardiola highlighted has been assisting Palestinian refugees for over 75 years. He described the agency as a preserver of history, identity, and rights, stating that it proves the irrepressibility of Palestinian existence.

He vowed to continue using his platform to speak out, urging viewers to keep discussing Palestine, defend humanity against indifference, and support UNRWA if possible.
