Gaza - Saba:
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) confirmed on Friday that it would be extremely difficult to distribute humanitarian aid in Gaza without it, in response to the United States' announcement on Thursday of a new agency to manage humanitarian assistance in Gaza.
In a statement, UNRWA spokesperson Juliette Touma stressed that it is impossible to replace UNRWA in a place like Gaza, as UNRWA is the largest humanitarian organization.
Touma said that the agency has more than 10,000 people in Gaza working to deliver the few remaining supplies, and that the agency also runs shelters for the displaced. She noted that it is very, very difficult to imagine any humanitarian operation without UNRWA.
