U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) will not be involved in Gaza aid, labeling it a “subsidiary of Hamas,” despite UNRWA’s insistence on its vital humanitarian role and support from the International Court of Justice. Amid ongoing violence and a call for a temporary Palestinian governance committee, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with extensive destruction and displacement of its 2.1 million residents.
