Dissolving UNRWA threatens to accelerate famine and fuel violence in Gaza

The Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, warned before the UN Security Council that yielding to Israel’s request to dissolve the UN agency would exacerbate famine in the Gaza Strip and push a generation of children into “despair,” thus fueling “endless cycles of violence.” .

Israel accuses the UN agency, which has more than 30,000 employees in the region (Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria), of employing “more than 400 terrorists” in Gaza, including 12 employees whom Israel confirms were directly involved in the attack launched by Hamas on the 7th.
