Israel’s parliament is currently deliberating two bills that could have significant implications for the operations of UNRWA, the UN relief agency for Palestinians, in territories occupied by Israel. This development comes at a critical juncture as the UN has highlighted a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, describing it as a dire situation where the entire population of northern Gaza is at risk of perishing.
If these bills are approved by the Knesset, Israel’s parliament, the UN warns that crucial aid delivery, including food, shelter, and healthcare, would come to a standstill. This could have devastating consequences, particularly for the 600,000 children in Gaza who rely on UNRWA for education and other essential services.
