Baroness Amos warns of devastating penalties if UNRWA is banned from Israel

Baroness Valerie Amos, the previous UN under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs, has warned that Israel’s determination to ban the UN Palestinian help company from the nation will affect hundreds of thousands of individuals in Gaza.

She informed Sky News "millions are reliant on urgent humanitarian aid" and Israel’s "collective punishment" of Palestinians in Gaza was not one thing "we as a world should be allowing to happen".

Israel’s parliament voted on Monday to successfully ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency from working within the nation.

It says some workers within the organisation have hyperlinks to Hamas.

Baroness Amos mentioned UNRWA’s employment processes have been tightened in April.

She additionally warned that academic companies to 500,000 Palestinian kids could be halted if the ban goes forward.
