Gaza’s truce absence limits potential impact of UN resolution: UNRWA

Gaza, The Gulf Observer: The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has issued a cautionary note emphasizing the potential limitations of a UN Security Council resolution solely advocating for an urgent surge in humanitarian assistance to Gaza. Highlighting the intricate situation, the agency underscored that the effectiveness of such aid initiatives might be considerably constrained in the absence of a comprehensive truce. This advisory serves as a reminder of the interconnected nature of humanitarian efforts and the imperative role played by peace and stability in enabling the substantial impact of aid provisions within the Gaza region.

Juliette Touma, the spokesperson for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA), expressed a measured welcome toward the resolution; however, she emphasized that the true impact and effectiveness of this resolution will only manifest over time. Highlighting the critical need, she stressed the imperative of augmenting humanitarian aid directed into Gaza. This cautious optimism underscores the necessity for a substantial increase in assistance to address the complex humanitarian challenges faced by the region, awaiting tangible actions to ascertain the resolution’s tangible effects.

She added that in the absence of a truce, the UN resolution’s efficacy in alleviating the situation in Gaza might be limited.
