Statement from the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on the Action by Israel to prevent UNRWA from Providing Humanitarian Assistance to Palestinian Refugees

The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) expresses grave concern about the vote taken by the Israeli Knesset on Monday 28 October, 2024 to prohibit the humanitarian assistance provided to the people of Palestine by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestine Refugees in the Near East .
