The people of Gaza are dying of hunger in front of the eyes of the world

Stephen Dujarric, the spokesperson of the United Nations, emphasized during a press conference yesterday, Wednesday, that the north of the Gaza Strip has been under severe siege by Israel for about a month, and civilians are dying of hunger in front of the eyes of the world.

He further referred to the situation in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, quoting field sources, and said: This year, nearly a thousand Palestinian houses have been destroyed in these areas, which led to the displacement of more than 1,100 people, and 40 percent of the displaced They belonged to Eastern Quds.

In this context, the United Nations announced in a letter, parts of which were published by the Reuters news agency, about the occupation regime's hostile action against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) that it would find a replacement for the UNRWA agency in Gaza and the West Bank. The West is Israel's responsibility, not international organizations.

"Courtney Rattray", the head of the United Nations Secretary General's Office, wrote on Tuesday evening in a letter to one of the senior foreign relations officials of the Zionist regime: As a general point, I would like to point out that finding a replacement for UNRWA is not our responsibility, nor is it our ability. We do not have this.

The letter contains an implicit reference to Israel's obligations as an occupying party. The United Nations considers the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to be territories occupied by Israel and, according to international humanitarian law, requires this regime as an occupying party to approve and facilitate relief programs for Palestinian refugees by any means at its disposal.

Warning about the disastrous consequences of stopping UNRWA

Senior officials of the United Nations and the Security Council consider UNRWA as the backbone of humanitarian operations in the Gaza Strip; Especially when the Zionist regime has turned this area into a ruin during its genocidal war against Gaza.

Filipe Lazzarini, UNRWA's Commissioner General, announced yesterday Wednesday at the United Nations General Assembly that the implementation of Israel's decision against UNRWA will have very dire consequences. In our era, millions of Palestinian refugees need the services provided by UNRWA to continue their lives.

He added: "Palestinians are very worried about their children being deprived of education and they fear that there will be no way to deal with their illnesses and social support for these people." The entire population of Gaza is also afraid that the only way left to save them will be cut off.

Lazzarini said UNRWA was living in its darkest hours and called on member states to save the agency.

Since the start of the Gaza war in October of last year, the Zionist regime has repeatedly taken various measures against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) and prevented this agency from providing services to the refugees in the Gaza Strip. On Monday, the foreign ministry of this regime announced in a statement that it officially informed the United Nations that it has canceled the agreement signed with UNRWA, which allowed this agency to support Palestinians and work in Palestinian lands.

The signed agreement between UNRWA and the Zionist regime dates back to 1967, which allowed this UN-affiliated agency to operate in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Jerusalem, and provide various services, including education, health care, relief aid, etc. provide the Palestinians in these areas.

UNRWA is the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees and is the main humanitarian organization affiliated with the United Nations in Gaza and the West Bank. This agency also operates in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria and provides services to Palestinian refugees in these countries.

The Zionist regime's decision to ban UNRWA from operating in the Palestinian territories will take effect in three months, but Jonathan Fowler said that if this decision is implemented, it will probably cause the collapse of international humanitarian operations in the Gaza Strip. Because UNRWA is the backbone of this operation.

"Adnan Abu Hosna", UNRWA's media consultant, stated in this context: We were not officially informed of the decision to cancel the agreement with Israel, but Israel has now unilaterally started to implement the decisions made recently by the Knesset regarding the banning of UNRWA's activities. had been adopted.

According to Tasnim, he added that Israel is an occupying party and controls the land, crossings, banking systems and other operations in Palestine. Therefore, banning UNRWA's activity in the Israeli-occupied territories means a great disaster for the Palestinian refugees.

This UNRWA official stated: It is clear that Israel's decision to stop the UNRWA agency's activities in Palestine is only related to preventing the arrival of relief aid, which is worth millions.
