UNRWA setop kirim bantuan lewat Kerem Shalom karena keamanan
United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) recently announced that it will temporarily suspend the transfer of humanitarian aid through the Kerem Shalom crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip due to security concerns. This decision comes after a series of violent clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian protesters near the crossing.
The Kerem Shalom crossing is a vital lifeline for the people of Gaza, as it is the main entry point for goods and humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave. UNRWA provides essential services such as food assistance, healthcare, and education to over 1.4 million registered Palestinian refugees in Gaza, and the suspension of aid deliveries through Kerem Shalom will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the already dire humanitarian situation in the region.
UNRWA’s decision to halt aid deliveries through Kerem Shalom is a reflection of the escalating violence and instability in the region. The recent clashes have resulted in the deaths of several Palestinians and injuries to many others, including women and children. The agency has expressed deep concern for the safety and security of its staff and beneficiaries, and has called for an immediate halt to the violence in order to ensure the safety of humanitarian workers and the delivery of much-needed aid to those in need.
In light of these developments, UNRWA is exploring alternative routes for the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, in order to ensure that essential services continue to reach those who depend on them. The agency is working closely with its partners and stakeholders to find a solution that will allow for the safe and efficient delivery of aid to Gaza, while also ensuring the security of its staff and beneficiaries.
In the meantime, UNRWA is calling on all parties to respect the neutrality and impartiality of humanitarian aid workers, and to allow for the unimpeded delivery of aid to those in need. The agency remains committed to its mission of providing assistance and support to Palestinian refugees in Gaza and throughout the region, and will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the basic needs of the most vulnerable populations are met, regardless of the challenges and obstacles that may arise.
As the situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, it is imperative that the international community takes action to address the root causes of the conflict and work towards a lasting and peaceful resolution that will bring an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people. UNRWA remains committed to supporting the rights and dignity of Palestinian refugees, and will continue to advocate for their protection and well-being in the face of ongoing challenges and obstacles.
