📢CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO INSIST ISRAEL OVERTUN UNRWA BAN

📢CALL FOR INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO INSIST ISRAEL OVERTUN UNRWA BAN

🚫UNRWA, the UN agency that supports the relief and development of the Palestinian refugee population, has been banned from operating following an act passed by the Israeli government.

❌The ban will jeopardise the lives, education and healthcare of millions of Palestinians across the Occupied Palestinian Territory and risks undermining the fragile ceasefire in Gaza.

🏥No entity can replace UNRWA owing to the scale of its operations across Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. UNRWA operates 140 primary health facilities and 706 schools.

📃Foreign Ministers from the UK, France & Germany have issued a statement underscoring their support for UNRWA’s mandate to operate in the region and urged Israel to abide by its international obligations and ensure full, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian assistance and the provision of basic services to the civilian population.

📢 Justice & Peace Scotland add our voice to the many urging the international community to demand that the Israeli authorities urgently overturn the ban and allow UNRWA unhindered delivery of its crucial services. You can help by sharing these calls and by contacting your MP urging them to advocate for the protection of UNRWA and its services.
