Ministry of Human Rights condemns suspension of funding by number of countries to UNRWA

The Ministry of Human Rights condemned in the strongest terms the announcement by a number of countries of suspending their funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) and their sway behind the Zionist incitement and narrative.

The Ministry of Human Rights, in a statement, a copy of which was received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), expressed its regret over the response of a number of countries to the accusations made by the Zionist entity before the end of the investigation into the accusations, in behavior that reveals the extent of the usurping entity’s blatant bias in continuing to strangle the Palestinian people and justifying the killing of UNRWA employees and the bombing of their buildings.

The statement stressed that these countries made their decisions according to double standards, as they continue to provide support and aid to the Zionist entity, while they are aware that their gang is committing the most horrific massacres against tens of thousands of civilians outside the law, and the Zionist entity is also imposing forced displacement on more than two million citizens.

He considered this decision a collective punishment for millions of Palestinians, especially in light of the humanitarian catastrophe and the entity’s continued refusal to allow the entry of humanitarian and sustainable aid to them, in light of the genocide, forced displacement, and destruction of all life facilities and infrastructure, in flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and the decision of the International Court of Justice.

He pointed out that what is happening against UNRWA is nothing but an expression of the Western will to end the Palestinian presence and cancel the right of refugees to return to their country.

The statement explained that the Zionist occupation killed UNRWA employees and bombed their schools, shelters, offices and food stores, stressing that Western countries and governments are coming to complete the crime by cutting off aid and further suffocating the people of Gaza, as if there was an agreement between them and the Zionist entity to annihilate the Palestinian people.

The Ministry of Human Rights stated that after the failure of bringing Gaza to its knees with bombs, missiles, and siege for years, it was the turn to try to bring its people to its knees by withholding the humanitarian aid provided by UNRWA.

It said, “The United States and the Zionist entity have always used international humanitarian organizations as a sword hanging over the necks of peoples, not to mention turning them into functional tools that implement the American agenda, intelligence, morally, and militarily. The Zionist entity and America do not want to maintain any international institution that bears witness to the brutal crimes and genocide practiced in the Gaza Strip.”

The Ministry of Human Rights condemned the Arab silence regarding Western blackmail and its failure to provide support to the people of Gaza, who have been subjected to a war of genocide for 113 days. It asked, “Why do Arab and Islamic countries not fund humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people?”

The statement called for the establishment of an independent Arab organization to provide aid to the Palestinian people, specifically in the besieged Gaza Strip, calling on the free people of the world to continue their humanitarian solidarity with the Palestinian people and to put pressure on governments that have identified with the Zionist entity in killing the Palestinian people.
