GAZA: ISRAEL APPROVES BILL DESPITE US OBJECTIONS

Israel's parliament on Monday approved a bill banning the main UN aid agency for the war-devastated Gaza Strip, sparking international outcry.

Despite objections from the US and warnings from the UN Security Council, Israeli lawmakers overwhelmingly passed the bill banning the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, from working in Israel and occupied east Jerusalem.

Israel strictly controls all humanitarian aid shipments to Gaza and lawmakers also passed a measure prohibiting Israeli officials from working with UNRWA and its employees.

UNRWA has provided essential aid, schooling, health care and assistance across the Palestinian territories and to Palestinian refugees elsewhere for more than seven decades.
