The Israeli parliament is advancing legislation to prevent the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) from operating in the occupied Palestinian territory. UNRWA, established in 1949, is crucial for providing shelter, health, and education services to Palestinians in Gaza and other regions. Despite allegations against some staff related to the October 7 attacks, a UN investigation found minimal merit in these claims. Since last October, at least 231 UNRWA staff have been killed in Gaza, where 90% of the population has been displaced and faces severe shortages of food, water, and safety. Human Rights Watch has reported that Israel’s actions amount to war crimes, including using starvation as a weapon. Governments concerned about the humanitarian crisis should support UNRWA and oppose Israel's legislation against it.
