The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has issued a stark warning about the potential impact on the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas if its humanitarian activities in Gaza are disrupted.
Juliette Touma, UNRWA's director of communications, stressed that the cessation of their aid distribution could threaten the already fragile peace, speaking at a press briefing in Geneva.
Despite an impending ban by Israel set for January 30, UNRWA continues its essential work in Gaza and other areas, Touma confirmed.
