NEW YORK — Sigrid Kaag, the Senior UN Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator for Gaza said on Tuesday that no organization can “replace” UNRWA, Al-Mamlaka TV reported. Many countries, including the US, Britain, Germany, and Japan, have suspended their UNRWA funding after Israel accused some of its employees of being involved with Hamas in Operation Al-Aqsa flood on October 7, 2023. “There is no way any organization can replace or substitute the tremendous capacity and the fabric of UNRWA and its ability and knowledge,” Kaag told correspondents. Additionally, to remedy the situation, UN Secretary-General António Guterres met with the donor countries to "guarantee the continuity" of UNRWA’s work in war-torn Gaza. UNRWA has long been subject to scrutiny by Israel, which accuses it of working systematically against its interests. The occupation pledged to stop the agency’s work in Gaza.
