MSF: Israeli Bid to Label UNRWA as Terror Group “An Outrageous Attack on Humanitarian Assistance”

HeadlineMay 31, 2024

Humanitarian groups are condemning an Israeli bill to designate UNRWA as a terrorist organization. Doctors Without Borders called it “an outrageous attack on humanitarian assistance, and an act of collective punishment against the Palestinian people.” The group added that the bill, which is making its way through the Israeli parliament, would “amount to a free license to attack UNRWA facilities and its humanitarian personnel.” The U.N. said this week aid to Gaza had dropped 67% since May 7 as Israel launched its invasion of Rafah.
