Israel pone fin al convenio con el principal proveedor de ayuda en Gaza

November 4, 2024 - Israel ha informado oficialmente a la Organización de las Naciones Unidas su decisión de suspender vínculos con la organización de asistencia para los palestinos UNRWA, mientras otra agencia de la ONU advierte sobre una hambruna inminente en Gaza.

UNRWA on Monday said Israel’s ban on its operations would lead to the “collapse” of humanitarian work in the war-torn Gaza Strip.

The UN agency provides education, healthcare and other basic services to Palestinian refugees from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and their descendants, who now number nearly six million. Refugee families make up the majority of Gaza’s 2.3 million population.

Israel’s notification to the UN came as the World Food Programme (WFP) on Monday warned that the humanitarian situation in Gaza “could soon escalate into famine” as Israeli forces continue their campaign against Hamas militants in the enclave.

On Saturday, a WFP official said the agency cannot serve as a replacement for UNRWA in Gaza.
