Israel cancels agreement with UNRWA

The Israeli Foreign Ministry has informed the UN that it has ended the 1967 agreement that recognises the UN’s relief agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), according to The Times of Israel.

The move came after the Israeli Knesset passed several laws banning the agency from operating on Israeli-controlled territory.

"The entire Palestinian population in North Gaza is at imminent risk of dying from disease, famine and violence,"

The joint statement was signed by the heads of the UN's humanitarian, health, food, rights, migration, refugee, development, children and women's agencies.

The camp’s main electricity distribution transformer was targeted, sewage pipes were destroyed, and internet lines were cut during the military operation. The Israeli incursion into the camp and city lasted 13 continuous hours.

The headquarters of the UNRWA office and camp services were also targeted and destroyed just three days after the decision to ban UNRWA offices in Palestinian refugee camps in the West Bank was issued.

Israeli bulldozers severely damaged UNRWA’s office in the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

The office can no longer be used. It was the hub to deliver basic services to more than 14,000 Palestinian refugees in the camp, including learning for children, health, sanitation & social protection.

During its military incursion, the Israeli army also destroyed roads, water systems, and electricity networks in the camp.

A UN special rapporteur urged the suspension of Israel’s UN membership citing repeated violations of international law and the occupation of Palestinian territory.

“I do believe that the impunity that has been granted to Israel has allowed it to become a serial violator of international law,” Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, said at a news conference.

Francesca Albanese said Palestinian civilians in Jabalia “are killed – both in groups and one by one – amid unspeakable cruelty and sadism” by Israeli troops “who have accepted to be willing executioners of a genocidal plan”.

“It blows my mind to think that WE KNOW what Israel is doing and altogether we cannot stop it. Looking at where we were 100 years ago, no much progress has been achieved,” she said in a post on X.

For Gaza’s children, there’s no “post” in post-traumatic stress disorder. The trauma is constant and relentless. Many who survived have lost parents, limbs, or both.

These kids aren’t playing or going to school – they’re fighting to survive, scavenging for food amid the rubble. So, what future does that trauma leave the children of Palestine with?
