Unrwa slams Israeli Knesset's vote to ban agency as 'outrageous'

Unrwa has slammed the Israeli parliament's decision to ban its operations in occupied East Jerusalem, Gaza and the occupied West Bank as "outrageous". 

“It’s outrageous that a member state of the United Nations is working to dismantle a UN agency, which also happens to be the largest responder in the humanitarian operation in Gaza,” Juliette Touma, spokeswoman for Unrwa, told AFP news agency.
