Dennis Francis, the president of the UN General Assembly, has urged UN member nations to give UNRWA, the main UN relief organisation functioning in besieged Gaza, “sustainable and predictable financial and political support.” “UNRWA has been an indispensable lifeline for millions of Palestinians,” declared Francis in response to a letter from UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini. UNRWA, which offers the Palestinian people healthcare, education, and other essential services, is today facing its “biggest humanitarian crisis since its establishment.” Israel accused the CIA last month of being involved in the October 7 operation by Hamas, the Palestinian resistance movement, against the Israeli occupation. More than ten donor nations have responded to the accusations made by Israel against UNRWA, which were not supported by information that was made public.
