UNRWA ban could result in more child deaths in Gaza, UNICEF says

Israel's decision to ban the UN relief agency UNRWA could result in the deaths of more children and represent a form of collective punishment for Gazans if fully implemented, UN agencies have said.

A law passed by Israel to ban the UN Palestinian refugee agency from operating inside Israel has raised concerns about its ability to provide relief in Gaza after over a year of war.

"If UNRWA is unable to operate, it'll likely see the collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza," said UNICEF spokesperson James Elder, who has worked extensively in Gaza since the 7 October war began.

"So a decision such as this suddenly means that a new way has been found to kill children."
