Israel forcing Unrwa to remove logo, hand over aid supplies, official says

Unrwa senior deputy director for Gaza John Whyte, on Monday, said that Israel is requiring the UN agency to hand over supplies to other relief organisations and remove its branding before permitting entry, The Journal reported. 

The report said that about 5,000 agency-owned trucks are currently blocked from entering the besieged enclave.

“So they’re requiring us to hand our supplies over to other agencies, who then bring them in. But we also have to take the Unrwa logo off everything, which causes us a lot of hassle,” Whyte said.

“They just won’t let anything that’s owned by Unrwa go in,” he added.
