GAZA, November 11, 2008, (WAFA)- UNRWA announced, Tuesday, that it will be forced to stop its distribution of food aid on over 750 Palestinian families in Gaza, by the end of Thursday November 13, unless it receives the necessary quantities of flour, oil, milk and meat.

UNRWA explained in a press release issued, Tuesday, that the main reason for this decision is the closure of crossing points by the Israeli Authorities. The Agency pointed that in the Gaza strip, there is sufficient fuel for only, five weeks.

UNRWA considered this closure, a collective punishment imposed on citizens; “It is unacceptable to force the biggest humanitarian aid agency working in Gaza, (UNRWA) into such crisis, as it provides basic livelihood, healthcare and education to the Gaza Strip Citizens .”
