‘Hum Hanking’: Anarwa ban to Palestinian refugees in Gaza. Israel-Felistine Conflict News

The Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) on Thursday ordered to stop operations in Israel and occupied sector with the United Nations Agency, several Palestinians reduced their life and future implications.

For the 15 -month war period of Israel on Gaza, which uprooted most of its population and reduced most of the enclave into the rubble, unrwa 2.3 million was an important lifeline of support for trapped Palestinians, even, even That human supply was also dipped.

In addition to the important human role of UNRWA, refugee – who is 71 percent of the population of Gaza – is afraid that they will be left without links to the original houses of their family or ever right to return to the land which was ever historic Palestine And now Israel is.

To serve and handle hundreds of Palestinians from the construction of Israel a year before its composition in 1949, UNRWA symbolizes the hope of refugees to return home.

Sitting in front of the remains of his destroyed house in Khan Younis, 74-year-old Abu Nail Hamuda describes UNRWA as “a lifeline beyond generations”-one who provides education, healthcare and food during peace and war time Has done

Says Hamoda, “UNRWA is a lungs that breathe from the Palestinian refugee,” who himself was originally in the city of Palestinian city of Majal. He was forced to get out of the mazal as a child, as it became part of Ashkelon in Israel.

“Without it, we will suffocate. My children and grandchildren went to UNRWA schools, treated with us in UNRWA hospitals, and helped us put roofs on our heads. ,

In October 2024, the Israeli cassett passed two laws: One was nominated as a so -called “terrorist” organization UNRWA and the other was banned from operations in Gaza and occupied West Bank. While Israel argues that UNRWA supports “terrorism” by providing assistance to Hamas, the ruling has criticized most of the international community, including some close associates of Israel.

While recently the Israel-Hamas ceasefire has created aid shipment in Gaza of 600 trucks per day, the absence of UNRWA, the largest assistance organization working in strip, creates a significant risk for its inhabitants.

For families such as Hamuda, who have trusted the agency for generations, the absence of UNRWA is not just a logical challenge; It “represents a death sentence for millions of Palestinian refugees, Gaza and beyond”, they say.

Interval

As a time limit for UNRWA’s closed approach, refugees wonder what will happen next, especially when the United States President Donald Trump called Palestinians in Gaza to go to Egypt and Jordan, a proposal, a proposal Palestinian leaders, It was rejected by the United Nations and Egypt and Egypt and Egypt and Egypt. Jordan, and threatens to add more refugees to 5.9 million that are scattered and scattered worldwide.

At the southern Gaza refugee camp of Khan Younis, a father of 10, Abu Ahmad Hamad, who was forced to leave his home in the Beat Hanoon in the north of Gaza, to flee the violence, at the time of peace and war at the agency at the time of peace and war. Demonstrates family dependence. , He and his wife also keep the UNRWA ID card.

“UNRWA is a spouse,” says Hamad. “This has been a safe shelter for us – providing food, shelter and health care for our children during war, and even recreational activities.”

Despite the efforts of other human organizations, Hamad suspects whether they can change the broad services of UNRWA. “War proved that the UNRWA is the most capable of handling the crisis. Other groups were working, but they barely covered a fraction of the needs of the Palestinian people, ”he says, citing UNRWA workers and a sheer number of expertise in several wars on the Palestinians.

“Palestinians are those who know the most importance of UNRWA and are being targeted, especially by Israel and America. Replacing it by any other organization is fruitless for Palestinians, and is a serious win for possession, “he emphasizes. “This is the entire cause of Palestinian refugee.”

Palestinian identity symbol

The establishment of the agency in 1949 was directly associated with the United Nations resolution 194, which confirms the right to Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and get compensation for their loss.

Many Palestinians have seen the agency as a major column in their fight for justice and recognition, and they consider its closure not only as a loss of vital services but also as an attack on this fundamental right.

“It is older with help,” Ibrahim Abdel Kadar says, a refugee of Khan Younis Camp. “What they are trying to do eradicate refugee issues and right to return.”

Sami MSHASHA, an expert on Palestinian refugee issues and a former spokesperson of UNRWA, said the agency has been given a tough fight by Israel.

“UNRWA is important in many ways,” says MShasha. “Israel’s action against UNRWA bears a large -scale political devastation for refugees in Gaza, West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon, not to mention symbolic importance in closing its 70 -year -old headquarters ( In the past) Sheikh Jarah of Jerusalem. “

MShasha notes that more than 200 UNRWA features in Gaza have been destroyed, and hundreds of staff members were killed during the war. This affects the agency’s ability to fulfill its responsibilities in addition to large -scale financial cuts. The agency launched a weak emergency appeal for $ 464m, “But this amount is much reduced by $ 1.7bn, it should be annually that it operates in his operation to maintain its operation in five main places” , He notes.

A prominent donor for UNRWA, America has also been criticized for supporting Israel’s works. In January 2024, the Biden administration cut funding to the agency following Israel’s allegations that 12 of its 13,000 staff members were involved in the 7 October attack on Israel, which was increasing financial stress.

Poor Palestinian Response

MShasha also criticized UNRWA’s leadership to deal with the ban. “Despite being ready to serve 13,000 employees in Gaza, there is no clear plan from the agency’s top management to navigate the crisis,” says expert.

He questions why the UNRWA Commissioner-General Philip Lazeri has not yet visited Gaza. “He is one of the most senior officers of the United Nations in the Middle East. He ensures that the UNRWA begins to recover instead of leaving Gaza to navigate the crisis.

While Israel continues its efforts to reduce UNRWA, the agency should respond with decisive action. “Yes, the commissioner-general faces the pressure of Israel, but the measure of Gaza’s devastation demands a strong response and a clear recovery plan. Otherwise, the situation will only get worse, ”Mshasha says.

Hamuda, the 74 -year -old, who has lived through many wars and displacement, applies restrictions for the future of their family. He does not want him to face these difficulties without the agency that has maintained him for generations.

“If UNRWA goes, we will have nothing left,” they say. “We can’t survive without it. This is the only thing that kept us alive. ,
