‘A NEW WAY TO KILL GAZA CHILDREN’: UNICEF CONDEMNS ISRAEL’S BAN ON UNRWA

Tuesday, 29 October 2024 4:01 PM  [ Last Update: Tuesday, 29 October 2024 5:18
PM ]

UNICEF has protested Israel’s ban on the UN aid agency, stating that the move
will lead to an increase in the death toll of children in the besieged Gaza
Strip.

The Israeli regime has labeled the UN aid agency in Palestine, UNRWA, a
"terrorist outfit."

At a UN press briefing in Geneva, UNICEF global spokesperson James Elder slammed
the banning of UNRWA.

> “If UNRWA is unable to operate, it’ll likely see the collapse of the
> humanitarian system in Gaza,” said Elder, who has worked extensively for the
> protection of Palestinian children in the past year against deadly Israeli
> attacks.

“So a decision such as this suddenly means that a new way has been found to kill
children.”

Other UN agencies followed suit, confirming that it would be impossible to
fulfill the assigned humanitarian work in Gaza without UNRWA.

Jonathan Fowler, UNRWA's spokesman in al-Quds, called the agency the backbone of
humanitarian work in the Palestinian territories, especially in Gaza.

Fowler, who described the Israeli ban as “an outrage,” told AFP in an interview
at the agency's compound in east Al-Quds that "UNRWA is irreplaceable, UNRWA is
essential. That remains a fact, whatever ... [ban] passed yesterday" by the Tel
Aviv regime.

Israel has killed nearly 12,000 students since Oct 2023: Gaza education ministry
And at least 718,000 students have been deprived of education.

World Health Organization (WHO) spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic warned that UNRWA's
work "couldn't be matched" by any agency, including the WHO.

Regarding delivery of health services, 3,000 out of 13,000 UNRWA staff are
health workers, Jasarevic said.

> "They basically provided more than 6 million medical consultations last year
> in the health centers that are run by UNRWA, and they have been providing this
> consultation for more than half of Gaza population," he said.

He added that UNRWA staff are also involved in immunization of children,
screening for disease surveillance, screening for malnutrition, and have been
active in polio campaigns.

One-third of the team members for polio are UNRWA, he said. "So really, … (their
work) couldn't be matched by any agency, including WHO."

Other UN agencies concurred that UNRWA was indispensable, saying the ban could
not only result in the death of more children, but also represents a form of
collective punishment for Gazans if fully implemented.

“It is indispensable and there is no alternative to it at this point,” said UN
humanitarian office spokesperson Jens Laerke.

The head of the International Organization for Migration said IOM could not
replace UNRWA in Gaza but that it could provide more relief to those in crisis.

> “That is a role that we are very, very keen to play, and one that we will be
> stepping up with the support of various stakeholders,” IOM Director-General
> Amy Pope said.

The Tel Aviv regime approved the ban on UNRWA on Monday. It is to take effect
within three months. The ban terminates any contact between UNRWA and Israeli
regime officials, preventing the UN agency from providing life-saving support to
Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Israel has killed more than 43,000 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023. The
regime has created famine-like conditions across the besieged territory,
blocking food, water, fuel and medicine to the region and banning UNRWA could be
the last nail in the UN efforts to save the Gaza Palestinians.

The United Nations General Assembly established the United Nations Relief and
Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) in December 1949 to
carry out relief and works programs for Palestine refugees.

The aid agency has been actively supporting Palestinians since it started
operations on May 1, 1950 under the aegis of the United Nations.
