The UN agency’s communications director Juliet Tuma Zenin said while spending on a destruction at the camp that about 100 buildings were damaged or badly damaged this weekend.
He expressed his anger that the violence has been going on for the past two months in Israeli military action and ordinary citizens have been facing a very difficult situation.
“The kids had to go to school when this explosion happened on Sunday.” There are 13 schools run by UNRWA in this camp and its surrounding areas, which are now closed. It has influenced the education of five thousand school children there.
Israeli ban
Last year, in October, the Israeli Parliament approved two laws, which called UNRWA activities in the Israeli region.
Also, the Israeli administration has also banned sanctions from any communication with the organization, which has been very challenging to make its support effort for the UN agency. These laws approved by the Israeli Parliament came into force on Thursday.
Communication Director Juliet Tuma has said that the Israeli government has not yet provided information on how these laws will be implemented.
Currently, the UNRWA teams continue to promote them in some parts of the west coast, under which the health care, education and other basic services are being provided to ordinary Palestinians.
Schools and clinics are open and refugee services are being provided. “We see that the UNRWA school attends up to 5 to 5 percent.”
Juliet Tuma said that the number of patients coming to the health centers operated by the UN agency on the west coast is increasing. One day more than 400 patients arrived at a clinic in East Jerusalem.
Gaza
According to the contact manager, the Gaza strip has a large level of need and the priority of the UNRWA team is to distribute support supply to the needy population. Since the ceasefire was implemented on January 19, 4,200 trucks have been provided through the truck.
He said that more trucks are likely to arrive in the coming days and hundreds of trucks are waiting to enter Gaza on the border of Egypt and Jordan.
October 2021, October 1, Hamas and other armed groups in Israel killed 1,220 people and more than 20 were tied. Subsequently, more than 46 thousand Palestinians were killed and thousands of injuries in the last 15 months in the Israeli military action.
On January 5, the ceasefire has been temporarily implemented, under which there is a break of fighting, bond release and support material is being delivered to Gaza.
Juliet Toma said that UNRWA has an important role in providing health care to Gaza Strip and on average 17,000 treatment is advised daily.
He worried that in addition to the obstacles arising from the laws approved by the Israeli Parliament, the UN agency has a financial burden on the effectiveness of the agency. The United States has banned financial assistance for this company since January 2024.
According to a UNRWA spokeswoman, the employees of the company were paid last month, but financial difficulties for the UN agency are intact.
