Overview
In a significant move, Israel has pulled out of a 1967 agreement with UNRWA, citing infiltration by Hamas. Following the approval of two laws restricting UNRWA's operations, this withdrawal threatens vital humanitarian services for millions of Palestinian refugees. Despite assurances from Israeli officials about alternative aid channels, humanitarian organizations warn of dire consequences, predicting famine and starvation in Gaza. The U.S. has suspended funding for UNRWA amidst these allegations. Critics highlight the urgency of humanitarian assistance, with aid groups describing the situation in Gaza as 'apocalyptic' as they call for immediate actions to alleviate the crisis.
