Security Council "warned attempt to restrict Palestinian refugee aid agency"

The U.N. Security Council says it warns against all attempts to ban the activities of the U.N. Palestinian Refugee Relief Agency, targeting Israel.

"Israel respects the privileges and immunities of the Palestinian Refugee Relief Organization and urges it to allow humanitarian aid from Gaza," the Security Council said in a statement unanimously adopted by 15 members.

Earlier on the 28th, Israel's parliament, the Knesset, passed a bill to designate the Palestinian Refugee Relief Organization as a terrorist organization and ban activities in Israel and occupied territories.Concerns over a civilian disaster are growing amid international condemnation as

restrictions on the activities of the UN Palestinian Refugee Agency, the last lifeline on Earth.

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres wrote to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, warning that the devastating consequences could be for Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
