Nothing Can Justify the Collective Punishment of the Palestinian People, Says UNRWA
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said on Monday that the vast majority of Gaza’s population are civilian children, women, and men, enduring indescribable suffering.
Through its official Twitter account, the agency stressed that nothing can justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people and called for an immediate ceasefire.
UNRWA currently operates 115 shelters across the Gaza Strip, housing more than 90,000 displaced persons. It noted that the humanitarian situation is rapidly deteriorating due to ongoing bombardments and the blockade that blocks humanitarian aid and commercial supplies from entering.
The United Nations estimates that approximately 420,000 people have been displaced again since the Zionist occupation government resumed its aggression on Gaza on March 18.
