In a matter of days, UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees may be forced to end its crucial, life-saving operations in Gaza and The West Bank.

Legislation passed by the Israeli Government, due to come into effect at the end of the month, would make it impossible for UNRWA to continue operating in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Juliette Touma, the UNRWA Director of Communications, told Conor Lennon from UN News that despite the threat hanging over the agency, her colleagues on the ground remain dedicated to providing essential services in both Gaza and the West Bank.
