Israel passed a law outlawing the agency and prohibiting authorities from having contacts with it
JERUSALEM – Tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees in Israel i-occupied East Jerusalem were set to lose education, healthcare and other services provided by UN agency UNRWA as an Israel i ban on the organisation takes effect on Thursday.
"It's an unacceptable decision," said Jonathan Fowler, a spokesperson for UNRWA, formally titled the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East. UNRWA has for decades run schools and clinics in East Jerusalem, the eastern part of the city that Israel has occupied since a 1967 war, for tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees who have no nationality.
Its sprawling headquarters are in a prime position not far from Jerusalem's Old City, which is home to sites holy to Christians, Jews and Muslims. The agency has long been a thorn in the eye of Israeli governments that considered the agency fundamentally hostile to Israel. The UN rejects accusations of bias and says that UNRWA's expertise is irreplaceable, particularly in Gaza.
