UNRWA ‘on verge’ of closing Gaza facilities
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) says it is “on the verge� of shutting down its operations in Gaza.
UNRWA’s Director of Communications, Juliette Touma, told Newsday: “We are on the verge of closing down our operations in Gaza because we are running out of supplies, because our facilities are coming under attack; because our people on the ground are displaced themselves...we lost 14 colleagues who were killed in the past week alone.�
