Undermining UNRWA Violates International Law
The Palestinian Working Women’s Society for Development condemns the Israeli attacks on the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), considering them an extension of policies of ethnic cleansing and the undermining of Palestinian refugees' rights. It pointed to the storming of agency headquarters in Jerusalem and the Qalandia refugee camp, as well as targeting during the Gaza war. A continuous escalation has been observed since the agency’s establishment in 1949, including the U.S. decision to halt funding in 2018. The Society affirms that targeting UNRWA threatens the fundamental rights of refugees, especially women and girls, and directly affects the health and education services provided by the agency. It calls on the international community and the United Nations to take urgent action to protect UNRWA and to impose sanctions on Israel. Additionally, it urges the Jordanian government to intervene to safeguard the lands and properties associated with the agency.
