New York, IRNA - UN Secretary General António Guterres warned about the catatrophic consequences of the Israeli regime's measure that could put a halt to the lifesaving operations of UN Palestine relief agency, UNRWA, which has been indispensable and irreplaceable “more than ever” over the past year of war in Gaza,

He said such a measure would suffocate efforts to ease suffering and tensions in Gaza and the entire Occupied Palestinian Territory, warning that “it would be a catastrophe in what is already an unmitigated disaster". 

UNRWA was established more than 70 years ago and supports Palestine refugees in five locations across the Middle East. 

The draft laws by the Israeli regime's parliament seek to evict the UNRWA agency from its premises in territories under Israeli control and to revoke its privileges and immunities.
