We are actively phasing out the use of UNRWA because they perpetuate the conflict rather than try and alleviate the conflict," spokesperson David Mencer told reporters.The German government has said that providing more urgently needed humanitarian aid for the people in Gaza is its “big political priority.”
In a statement, the team said healthcare workers had been forced to evacuate or were unable to access the hospital.
