UN responds to threats against its Gaza staff
Palestinian groups in the Hamas-run territory are angry at a UN official who said he did not doubt that Israeli airstrikes are "precise."
Some Palestinian groups are calling on the United Nations Palestinian refugee agency’s regional leader to leave Gaza, prompting the UN to fight back.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), supports Palestinian refugees from the Israel-Palestine war of 1947-48 and their descendants. One area in which UNRWA operates is the Gaza Strip, which is controlled internally by Hamas. Israel engaged in an 11-day conflict with Hamas and other Gaza-based groups last month.
