Israel Faces Global Backlash Over Strikes and UNRWA Ban

International outcry follows Israeli airstrikes killing civilians in Gaza and the legislative ban on the UN's Palestinian refugee agency.

  • An Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Beit Lahiya, Gaza, resulted in at least 93 deaths, including 25 children, sparking international condemnation.
  • The United States has called the strike 'horrifying' and is seeking explanations from Israel regarding the high civilian death toll.
  • Israel's parliament has passed a law banning the UNRWA, the main agency providing aid to Palestinian refugees, raising concerns about worsening humanitarian conditions.
  • Critics, including the UN, warn that the ban on UNRWA could lead to a collapse of essential services in Gaza, affecting millions who rely on its aid.
  • The Israeli government cites alleged ties between UNRWA staff and Hamas as justification for the ban, a claim disputed by the agency.
