The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is facing a critical moment as Israel moves to ban the organization, which provides essential services to millions of Palestinian refugees. The agency's commissioner-general, Philippe Lazzarini, has called on the international community to intervene, warning that the ban could have disastrous humanitarian consequences, particularly in Gaza, where the ongoing conflict has already devastated the region. Countries like Pakistan have voiced strong support for UNRWA and are urging urgent global action to prevent the agency's collapse. The situation is seen as one of the most severe challenges the agency has faced in its history.

Israël has committed a genocide that has lasted over a year, & continues to commit atrocious (on video by their own soldiers) in Gaza, the west bank & southern Lebanon. It's no longer about self defense, it's about colonisation. Action needs to happen to stop this suffering & restrain Israël from conquering anymore land that doesn't belong to them.
