UNRWA chief: We've reached a breaking point
|
[IsraelNationalNews] UNRWA, the UN agency for "Palestinian refugees", warned Thursday it has reached a critical juncture as it struggles to cope with the war in Gaza, AFP reported.
"It is with profound regret that I must now inform you that UNRWA has reached a breaking point," the agency’s chief Philippe Lazzarini said.
You know, Philippe, somebody in UN hierarchy must really hate you - to arrange for that particular posting at that particular time.
"The Agency's ability to fulfill the mandate given through General Assembly resolution 302 is now seriously threatened," he said in a letter to the UN General Assembly, a reference to the resolution under which the agency was founded in 1949.
Israel presented evidence that 12 UNRWA employees were involved in the Hamas October 7 attack on Israel. In the wake of this, the United States and a host of other countries announced they were temporarily pausing funding for UNRWA.
Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told foreign reporters last week that Israel has found intelligence that more than 30 of UNRWA’s employees actively participated in the massacre, and assisted in the kidnapping of civilians and soldiers.
One of the UNRWA workers involved was identified as Faisal Ali Musalem Na’ami, 45, who was photographed during the massacre abducing a body of an Israeli from Kibbutz Be’eri. He was killed in an air strike targeting his house in Nuseirat, along with five of his children and one of his wives.
