The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) "strongly warned" in its statement on Wednesday against "any attempts to dismantle or diminish" the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). The Israeli lawmakers voted to ban the agency from Israel, which would also block it from aiding Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
The UNSC urged Israel to abide by international law, "respect the privileges and immunities of UNRWA and live up to its responsibility to allow and facilitate full, rapid, safe and unhindered humanitarian assistance in all its forms into and throughout the entire Gaza Strip."
