Widespread anger after UNRWA decision to halt Gaza aid

A senior Hamas personality has talked of widespread anger in Gaza following the UN decision to halt aid to the victims of the Israeli genocidal war on the besieged enclave, Qods News Agency reports.

Angry Palestinians who were affected by the Israeli aggression demonstrated on Thursday in front of the UN headquarters in Gaza to protest against the UNRWA's decision to halt its aid due to what it called lack of fund. The demonstrations were ensued by an assault on the UNRWA office.

Following the protest, the UN Special Envoy in Gaza, Robert Serry said he was carrying out an urgent review of the United Nations' operations in Gaza in response to the angry demonstrators' assault. Serry also held Hamas responsible over the assault.

Hamas official Salah Bardawil however urged the UNRWA and the UN envoy to look into "the serious repercussions of the United Nations' decision to stop the reconstruction and assistance provided for the victims of the latest Israeli aggression on Gaza instead of distributing accusations."

He added that Hamas does not support any form of violence or assault on international institutions.
