Baghdad-INA

The Iraqi government condemns the Zionist entity’s decision to ban the operations of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

Iraqi Government Spokesman, Basim Alawadi said in a statement, received by The Iraqi News Agency-INA “This move represents a serious escalation that exacerbates the humanitarian crisis and obstructs vital aid efforts in the occupied Palestinian Territories.”

The statement added, “UNRWA, which has provided humanitarian support in Palestine for over 75 years, plays a critical role in aiding a large refugee population. The ban imposed by the occupying entity endangers the safety and lives of millions of civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.
 
The statement further stated,"The occupying entity has used various forms of aggression against UNRWA, directly targeting its personnel and showing blatant disregard for international norms and agreements. These actions reflect a deliberate plan to perpetuate atrocities of genocide and ethnic cleansing in the occupied territories".
 
Alawadi also confirmed that “The Iraqi government calls on the international community to uphold humanitarian principles and urges each state to fulfill its responsibilities under international humanitarian law. Concrete and urgent measures must be taken to stop these grave humanitarian violations”.
