UN warns Israel must ensure humanitarian aid if it cuts ties with refugee agency

abcnews.go.com — October 30, 2024, 02:01 AM UTC

Summary: The United Nations warned that if Israel enacts new laws severing ties with the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), it must fulfill humanitarian needs under international law. UNRWA has been crucial for aid in Gaza during the ongoing conflict.

Israel recently passed two laws that could hinder UNRWA's operations. The U.S. and other nations have expressed opposition to this legislation, which does not take effect for three months. The U.N. emphasized that without UNRWA, Israel would need to provide essential services to Palestinians.

Norway plans to seek a ruling from the U.N. court on Israel's obligations to facilitate humanitarian aid. U.S. officials have also raised concerns about the impact of the Israeli laws on Palestinians relying on UNRWA for vital services.
