Doha, Qatar: Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Majid bin Mohammed Al Ansari has said that stopping support for UNRWA would have disastrous consequences for people in Gaza.

During a media briefing yesterday, Al Ansari said that the technical details of ongoing talks for ceasefire could not be revealed while Qatar’s efforts are ongoing to resolve the crisis.

About the impact of the assassinations carried out by the Israel and its targeting of UN offices, Al Ansari said that every escalation on the ground was accompanied by complicating the success of the mediation.

“It is not possible to negotiate successfully with one party, while the other party is targeting every opportunity.”

He praised the important role played by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) in helping millions not only in Gaza, but also in the West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
