🔻 Phillippe Lazzarini response to Israel claims to UNRWA Headquaters propaganda

- UNRWA did not know what is under its headquarters in Gaza.

- UNRWA is made aware of reports through the media regarding a tunnel under the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza.

- UNRWA staff left its headquarters in Gaza City on 12 October following the Israeli evacuation orders and as bombardment intensified in the area.

- We have not used that compound since we left it nor are we aware of any activity that may have taken place there.

- We understand, through media reporting, that the Israeli Army has deployed troops within the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza City.

- We are therefore unable to confirm or otherwise comment on these reports.

- In times of “no active conflict” UNRWA inspects inside its premises every quarter, the last inspection for the UNRWA Gaza premises was completed in September 2023.

- UNRWA is a Human development and humanitarian organisation that does not have the military and security expertise nor the capacity to undertake military inspections of what is or might be under its premises.

- In the past, whenever suspicious cavity was found close to or under UNRWA premises, protest letters were promptly filed to parties to the conflict, including both the de facto authorities in Gaza (Hamas) and the Israeli authorities. The matter was consistently reported in annual reports presented to the General Assembly and made public.

- These recent media reports merit an independent inquiry that is currently not possible to undertake given Gaza is an active war zone.

- The Israeli Authorities have not informed UNRWA officially about the alleged tunnel.

🔻 Statement issued by the families of Rafah and the displaced within:

We declare that we will not leave Rafah under any circumstances and that we have decided to either die here or return to our homes victorious after the war has ended.

We will not accept returning and leaving the people of Rafah who welcomed us, opened their hearts to us before their homes, and shared with us their food, clothing, and drink.

We will not leave them alone. We have made our decision, and only what Allah has written for us will happen. We also call on the free people in the land of Egypt, its noble and beautiful people who love Palestine, to move and press their government to put an end to and prevent the Rafah operation. We will not leave Rafah. We will die standing tall. Either victory or martyrdom.

The displaced and the people of Rafah. And Allah is greatest.

🔺The Trudeau government authorized at least $28.5 million of new permits for military exports to Israel during the first two months of Israel's brutal war on Gaza, data supplied to The Maple by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) shows.

A researcher with the arms-monitoring group Project Ploughshares, said: “It’s not only troubling that Canadian officials have continued to authorize arms transfers since the onset of Israel’s operation, but also that the value of those transfers is in the tens of millions.”

“These combined values exceed that of total Canadian arms exports to Israel for any year on record"

GAC has repeatedly insisted that all of Canada’s military exports to Israel since October 7 have been for “non-lethal” goods.

The dates on which some of the permits were issued indicate that GAC continued to authorize new military exports as recently as December 6, a time when United Nations experts had warned there was a “grave risk of genocide” being committed by Israel.
