The platform "Documenting the Targeting and Destruction of the Health Sector in the Gaza Strip" presents accurate and detailed information about the Israeli assault on health during the genocidal war. This includes data on the attacks on healthcare facilities and health workers who have been killed, abducted, tortured, and maimed by Israeli forces during the genocide, and relevant statements by international organizations and healthcare institutions. These are complemented by original analysis by researchers and authors covering a range of issues in the targeting of the health sector, through which Israeli occupation forces have created a "war biosphere".

Dear Mr. President,
Riyadh
Your Royal Highness, Prince Faisal Ben Farhan
Excellencies,
The vote by the Knesset against UNRWA this week is outrageous and sets a dangerous precedent.
It is the latest in an ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role in providing human-development and assistance to Palestine Refugees.
NEW YORK, 30 October 2024 -
"UNRWA is the main UN agency providing essential services and protection to Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and is the backbone of the humanitarian response in Gaza. As the Secretary-General has said, ‘there is no alternative to UNRWA.’
New York
Mr. President,
Excellencies,
I am addressing you at UNRWA’s darkest hour.
The Israeli Knesset’s legislative action poses an imminent and existential threat to the Agency.
It is the latest move in a relentless campaign to delegitimize UNRWA and undermine its role providing development services and emergency assistance to Palestine Refugees.
Since the beginning of the war in Gaza, Israeli officials have described dismantling UNRWA as a war goal.
How are these services going to be replaced? Who is going to provide these services?’

Madam Chair,
Excellencies,
This is a critical moment for UNRWA, our 33,000 staff members, and the millions of Palestine Refugees we serve.
The risk of the Agency’s collapse threatens the lives and futures of individuals and communities, the stability of the region, and the integrity of our multilateral system.
Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) Public Policy Lecture
11 November 2024, Princeton, New Jersey
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. It is a great pleasure to be here in Princeton and to engage with you all.
I would like to thank Professor Didier Fassin and the Institute for Advanced Study for the invitation to deliver the Public Policy Lecture.
Geneva
Excellencies,
Members of the Advisory Commission,
I would like to thank Spain for chairing the Advisory Commission at the most challenging time in UNRWA’s history.
I am also grateful to Brazil and Jordan for joining Spain in convening this timely meeting; and to Lebanon and Australia for their strong support as Chair and Vice Chair of the SubCom.
Geneva
Thank you so much. A pleasure to be with you.
Thank you, Minister Leis, and thank you Spain, first for the chairmanship of the AdCom, but also for stewarding the support to the Agency with other Member States, both politically but also financially. Spain has been very involved also in New York with other Member States when it comes to the joint commitments to the Agency.
You said a lot. So, I want just to be a little bit briefer and give more time for the questions and answers today.
The spread of disinformation against UNRWA is meant to create chaos & divert attention from the political aims to dismantle the Agency.
