UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini says there is no “plan B” to provide aid to the occupied Palestinian territories following Israel’s order to ban the organisation last month.
Lazzarini said in Geneva that without the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the responsibility falls to the Israeli authorities to provide aid to the Gaza Strip.
“I have drawn the attention of the member states that now the clock is ticking … We have to stop or prevent the implementation of this bill,” he told reporters, saying there is no alternative to the agency’s services in Gaza besides allowing Israel to take them over.
