GAZA CITY: Gaza’s Hamas rulers yesterday urged the United Nations to reconsider its suspension of food aid for Palestinian refugees, imposed after protesters stormed a UN depot.
The UN Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, stopped food deliveries after dozens of Gazans forced their way into the field office on Thursday, demanding reinstatement of a monthly cash allowance.
“This is an unjustified step from UNRWA,” Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri saud.
“There is a right of peaceful protest for Palestinian refugees,” he said.
