According to the Sputnik news agency, Martin Griffiths, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, said: - Efforts to expel the Palestine Refugee Agency (UNRWA) from the Gaza Strip must be stopped.

Earlier, the Guardian newspaper wrote that the Zionist regime proposed to the United Nations to dissolve the Palestine Refugees in the Middle East Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

In late January, several countries, including England, Germany and the United States, suspended their financial support to UNRWA over allegations by the Zionist regime that the agency's staff were involved in the October 7 attack by the Hamas movement against the occupied territories. .

UNRWA later announced that the Zionist regime had tortured the agency's captive employees to extract false confessions from them about their links to the Hamas movement and the Al-Aqsa Storm operation.

UNRWA is one of the largest aid organizations in Gaza.

About 13,000 employees of this agency worked during the war, and 3,000 of them are still working today.

In addition to food distribution, UNRWA provides education and basic medical services in the Gaza Strip.
