A controversial decision by the Board of Peace has removed UNRWA, the United Nations agency responsible for Palestinian refugees, from its operations in Gaza, marking a significant shift in humanitarian aid. The move follows long-standing Israeli demands to marginalize the agency, which has faced criticism over alleged ties to militant groups. The exclusion raises concerns about the continuity of essential services for Gaza’s displaced population amid ongoing conflict. Humanitarian organizations are now assessing the potential fallout for relief efforts in the region.
