Since October 2023, UNRWA has faced attacks by Israel's government, funding cuts from the US, and legal cases questioning the organisation's neutrality. Israeli forces have killed more than 380 UNRWA staff in Gaza. Israel imposed a ban on the agency, which Philippe Lazzarini calls a turning point for international law and the global order.
