The Arab Parliament condemned the decision of some countries to stop funding the United Nations agency, UNRWA, alleging the involvement of a number of its employees in the events of last October 7, stressing that ‘this decision represents submission to the policy of systematic incitement of the Israeli occupation entity against UNRWA, as it is the main humanitarian agency for supplies in Gaza.”
The Arab Parliament affirmed that ‘the decision of these countries to temporarily suspend funding for the agency in these circumstances represents a humanitarian catastrophe that exacerbates the suffering of the Palestinian people, who are subjected to the worst forms of genocide.”
It described this decision as ‘a new stain on international humanitarian work, and a restriction that deliberately halts the delivery of relief aid, thus foretelling a humanitarian catastrophe.”
“It constitutes a blatant challenge to the decision of the International Court of Justice issued last Friday, which ruled that humanitarian aid
must be brought into Gaza,” the Arab Parliament asserted.
Finally, it called on the countries that announced the suspension of their support for UNRWA to reconsider their decision, urging the international community to ‘continue and intensify the necessary assistance to the agency, to enable it to continue providing its services in Gaza, whose people are facing famine and displacement.”
