DOHA: The State of Qatar has issued a strong condemnation of the recent bombing by Israeli forces of a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) school in the Al Shati camp, located in the Gaza Strip. The attack, which resulted in multiple deaths and injuries, targeted a facility that was providing shelter to displaced individuals. Qatar’s statement described the incident as part of a pattern of policies aimed at unarmed civilians and civilian infrastructure, labeling it a clear breach of international law and international humanitarian law principles.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar has expressed grave concerns over the ongoing attempts to hinder UNRWA’s operations. These operations are crucial for providing essential services, including education, to Palestinian refugees. The ministry highlighted the Israeli Knesset’s recent legislative measures, which include banning UNRWA activities in occupied Palestinian territories and designating th
e agency as a terrorist organization, as significant developments with potentially serious repercussions.
