We condemn this irresponsible and callous action and call for an immediate restoration for the direly needed funding.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>It is unconscionable that <strong>UNRWA<\/strong> donors would suspend funding<strong> UNRWA<\/strong> at the time when <strong>Gaza<\/strong> is experiencing an ongoing genocide. This genocide has been recognized by the World Court. The Court has ordered Israel, among other things, to allow food and other supplies to enter Gaza. There are millions of Palestinian refugees that rely on <strong>UNRWA<\/strong> for survival. It is galling to have the Court order Israel to allow food and have countries that preach <strong>human rights<\/strong> and international law cut the very funding that allows UNRWA to deliver the food to the<strong> Gazans<\/strong>.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Israel, even President Biden acknowledged, has been bombing Gaza indiscriminately. For more than a hundred days, Israel has been starving Gazans by hardly allowing any food to enter Gaza. Several <strong>UNRWA<\/strong> facilities have been bombarded and destroyed. Israel has killed one hundred fifty <strong>UNRWA<\/strong> staff. This is the biggest number of UN losses of any conflict in UN history. Israel has been starving and killing UN staffers and their families. We expect a universal uproar over that but instead we find a number of self-proclaimed enlightened countries punishing the victim instead of holding Israel accountable for its genocide\u00a0that has not spared UN employees and their families.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>The pretext the donors are pushing forward is that several<strong> UNRWA<\/strong> employees were involved in the October 7 attack on Israel. UNRWA has thousands of employees and serves millions of beneficiaries. The actions of a few, and that is at this point an Israeli\u00a0self- serving allegation, cannot be attributed to the whole.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>Also, <strong>UNRWA<\/strong> has always been a target of the most zealous Zionists. They see <strong>UNRWA<\/strong> as a Palestinian symbol that reminds the world that the birth of Israel was at the expense of Palestinians who were forced out of their homes. In fact, at least 70% of the Gazans are refugees of 1948 war and their descendants. The campaign against UNRWA did not start with the genocide and will not end when the genocide ends.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no justification whatsoever to this suspension of funding to<strong> UNRWA<\/strong>,\u201d said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. \u201cBy design or by default, cutting the finding\u00a0of <strong>UNRWA<\/strong> in the middle\u00a0of a genocide is aiding and abetting Israel in its genocide in <strong>Gaza<\/strong>,\u201d\u00a0concluded Hamad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) is deeply disturbed by the news that several donor\u00a0nations have suspended their funding of UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East).
