Guterres defends UNRWA and Jordan warns of a disaster in Rafah. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) represents a lifeline for millions of refugees in the region.
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warned that invading Rafah would lead to disaster and massacre. He considered that depriving the agency of funding means contributing to the killing of Palestinian children. Al-Safadi said that instead of sending weapons to Israel, delegations should be sent to press for a ceasefire.
