UN Secretary-General António Guterres clarified his recent statements made at the Security Council, emphasizing that he condemns both the attacks by Hamas and the collective punishment of the Palestinian people. A diplomatic dispute with Israel has arisen as a result.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has issued a warning that it may have to halt its operations in Gaza due to a lack of fuel, severely impacting the region’s struggling civilians. UNRWA plays a crucial role in providing essential services to Palestinian refugees in Gaza.
Israel has stated it will not allow fuel to reach Gaza, citing concerns about Hamas stockpiling existing supplies. UNRWA’s humanitarian efforts, including shelter, sanitation, and aid supplies, are at risk. Gaza’s situation is deteriorating rapidly, and UNRWA clinics have also been affected by recent airstrikes.
