Ammon News - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, Ayman Safadi, said that Gaza is starving because of what the Israeli government has done, which uses starvation as weapon.
During his speech at the UN Security Council on Wednesday, Safadi stated that UNRWA is the backbone of the humanitarian efforts in Gaza and Israel wants to destroy it, indicating that it is another victim of the occupation's aggression against Gaza.
Safadi stressed the need for UNRWA to be protected as it was protected in the past, noting that more than 300,000 students used UNRWA schools in Gaza before the Israeli occupation destroyed them.
UNRWA today is more needed than ever before, especially since the plight of refugees continues and UNRWA must remain, he noted.
He also noted that supporting UNRWA is supporting regional stability, and saving it means saving lives, hope, and standing by justice.
