Why attacking UNRWA is attacking Gaza’s survival

The January 14 announcement of the new Palestinian technical committee to oversee Gaza’s reconstruction comes at a critical moment. While states are discussing the governance and reconstruction of Gaza, on the ground, the basic survival of 2.1 million people hangs by a thread. This moment demands immediate action to lift the ongoing and suffocating restrictions that are systematically dismantling the very means for Palestinians to survive. Famine conditions in Gaza have moderately stabilised, but the humanitarian catastrophe continues to deepen.
