Israel’s parliament has voted to ban UNRWA, Gaza’s largest aid organization, within 90 days. UNRWA’s services are essential at a time when Israel has been imposing collective punishment and the use of starvation as a weapon of war in Gaza. Israel should withdraw this legislation, stop targeting aid workers in Gaza, and let UNRWA get on with its work of saving lives.
