Unrwa slams Israel's 'relentless assault' of Palestinians

Israel is waging a "relentless assault" on the UN Palestinian relief agency, which is undermining the lives of Palestinians, the organisation's leader said.

“The relentless assault on UNRWA is harming the lives and future of Palestinians across the occupied Palestinian territory,” Philippe Lazzarini, the chief of Unrwa, told the UN Security Council. 

“It is eroding their trust in the international community, jeopardising any prospect for peace and security,” he added.
