A threatened Israeli ban on all UNRWA operations in Gaza and the West Bank would not impact the legal status of Palestinian refugees, the agency says.
“UNRWA as a structure in the life of Palestine refugees is irreplaceable,” agency spokesperson Tamara Alrifai told Al Jazeera.
“Having said that if UNRWA were forced to shut down its schools, health centres, and all its services tomorrow, Palestine Refugees remain Palestine Refugees. This is a legal status.”
