Israel encerra acordo com principal prestador de ajuda a Gaza

November 4, 2024 - IO Programa Alimentar Mundial da ONU diz que a situação humanitária
em Gaza pode em breve escalar para fome, já que Israel continua a sua campanha militar contra militantes do Hamas no enclave.

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.
