Suspending funding to UNRWA amounts to collective punishment of Palestinian refugees and Gaza residents and violates international law.
The suspension of UNRWA funding is considered collective punishment of Palestinian refugees and Gaza residents in light of the war of starvation and genocide.
This comment coincides with the International Court of Justice’s announcement that it took into account the statement of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) regarding the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip in consideration of its decision against Israel in the lawsuit filed against it by South Africa, and at a time when the court called for Provide immediate supplies and increase international aid to Gaza after the court ordered Israel to take all possible measures to prevent genocide in Gaza.
Israel and many countries, led by the United States of America, launched an attack.
Against human agency.
We at International Cngrees Shield condemn the suspension of funding for UNRWA and consider it a form of collective punishment.
It is contrary to the principles of international humanitarian law.
The suspension of funding for UNRWA came immediately after the decision of the International Court of Justice, which ordered “Israel” to prevent acts of genocide against the Palestinians and “to make more efforts to help civilians in the Gaza Strip.” The suspension of funding came as retaliation against UNRWA because the court relied on many of Its reports, which revealed the tragedy that the people of Gaza are experiencing due to the aggression and the siege, with numbers and documents.
Suspending UNRWA’s work in the Gaza Strip will have disastrous repercussions on the lives of Palestinians, which are essentially devastating due to the occupation, siege, killing, displacement, Judaization, and genocide.
