The organization dealing with humanitarian assistance warns that the Organization of the United Nations concerning the issue of assistance and labor of Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) has forewarned about possible consequences in case of the adoption of punitive measures concerning its activities in the Gaza sector.

"The suspension of our operations in the Gaza sector may negatively affect the ceasefire regime between Israel and the Hamas movement," UNRWA stated.
