The Board of Peace has announced it will not include the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in its Gaza operations, Al Jazeera English reported. The decision aligns with repeated Israeli calls to sideline UNRWA, the main humanitarian organization providing aid to Palestinian refugees in the territory.
UNRWA has faced pressure from Israel, which has accused the agency of ties to Palestinian armed groups—allegations UNRWA has denied. The Board of Peace's exclusion of the agency marks another step toward marginalizing the organization from humanitarian efforts in Gaza.
