Israeli parliament passes legislation that could threaten the work of the main UN agency providing aid to people in Gaza by barring it from operating on Israeli soil.
Israeli parliament has passed legislation that could threaten the work of the main UN agency providing aid to people in Gaza by barring it from operating on Israeli soil.
The legislation, which wouldn't take effect immediately, risks collapsing the fragile aid distribution process at a moment when the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening and Israel is under increased US pressure to ramp up aid. Farming and aid groups are warning the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah could affect food supplies in Lebanon and Syria and push hundreds of thousands of people into long-term poverty.
