Israel bans UN aid agency UNRWA from operating in Israel

29/10/2024 6:53
        Israel passed a law on Monday banning the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency UNRWA from operating in the country, legislation that could impact its work
        in war-torn Gaza.
        
        The lawmakers who drafted the law cited the involvement of some UNRWA staffers in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel and for staffers having membership in Hamas and other armed groups.
        
        The legislation has alarmed the United Nations and some of Israel's Western allies who fear it would further worsen the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, where Israel has been fighting Hamas militants for a year. The ban does not refer to operations in the Palestinian territories or elsewhere.
        
        UNRWA, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees, employs tens of thousands of workers and provides education, health and aid to millions of Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.
