UNRWA suspends the distribution of food aid in Gaza temporarily

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees, "UNRWA", announced today, Sunday, the temporary distribution of food aid to refugees in the Gaza Strip.

In a brief statement, UNRWA clarified that this came after the discovery of two new cases of Corona virus emerging in the Gaza Strip.

She indicated that this step is a preventive measure to preserve the safety of both staff and beneficiaries, noting that UNRWA´s food operations will be suspended until a safer method is found, to provide that assistance.
