Israel will no longer approve Unrwa food aid to northern Gaza, agency says​

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, Unrwa, said on Sunday that Israel had definitively barred it from making aid deliveries in northern Gaza, where the threat of famine is highest.

“Despite the tragedy unfolding under our watch, the Israeli Authorities informed the UN that they will no longer approve any Unrwa food convoys to the north,” Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the agency, said on X.

Israel did not immediately respond on Sunday to media requests for comment about Lazzarini’s statement. The Unrwa spokesperson, Juliette Touma, said the decision had been relayed in a meeting with Israeli military officials on Sunday. It followed two denials in writing for convoy deliveries to the north last week. No reason for the decision was given, Touma said.

 
Meanwhile Biden is also going to sign a bill that halts any aid money sent to UNRWA by the US for at least until 2025.
This terrorist affiliated organization must be replaced by an international organization that can aid Gazan civilians and not just Hamas.
 
They should just issue a statement that all food is blocked and that they are not blocking any food, to combine their policy and propaganda messages.

I don't blame Isael for that. Unrwa was complicit in the attacks that started this war.

As I have posted several times previously, the EU and others have not seen the Israeli evidence to support their charges against UNRWA. The EU, as well as individual European countries, Canada, and others are resuming their support of UNRWA. The EU foreign minister Borrell has been very vocal on this issue. We also know that UNRWA has testimony from members of being held, intimidated, physically punished by Israel in its attempts to coerce admissions of cooperation with Hamas.

Shame on the U.S. for withholding funds from UNRWA. No other organization has the capacity to deliver sufficient aid to counter the famine in Gaza.

AND, we now need the US to take actions on its protectorate against its announcement it will block all aid from UNRWA to Northern Gaza.

Do you want to commit US troops against the IDF on support of Hamas?
