Israel votes to ban UN aid agency, Palestinians say 100,000 residents trapped
JERUSALEM/CAIRO, Oct 28 (Reuters) -Israel's parliament passed a law on Monday to ban the UN relief agency UNRWA from operating inside the country, alarming some of Israel's Western allies who fear it will worsen the already dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.以色列议会周一通过了一项法律,禁止联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处(UNRWA)在国内运营,这令一些以色列的西方盟友感到担忧,他们担心这将加剧加沙目前严峻的人道主义局势。Israeli officials cited the involvement of a handful of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees' thousands of staffers in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on southern Israel and a few staffers' membership in Hamas and other armed groups.以色列官员提到,在2023年10月7日对以色列南部的袭击中,联合国巴勒斯坦难民救助和工程机构的数千名工作人员中有少数人参与其中,且有少数工作人员是哈马斯及其他武装团体的成员。"UNRWA workers involved in terrorist activities against Israel must be held accountable," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.以色列总理本杰明·内塔尼亚胡表示:“参与针对以色列的恐怖活动的联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处(UNRWA)的工作人员必须承担责任。”The head of UNRWA, Philippe Lazzarini, said the vote opposes the U.N. charter and violates international law. "This is the latest in the ongoing campaign to discredit UNRWA and delegitimize its role towards providing human-development assistance and services to #Palestine Refugees," he wrote on social media platform X.UNRWA负责人菲利普·拉扎里尼表示,该投票违反了联合国宪章并侵犯了国际法。他在社交媒体平台X上写道:“这是对UNRWA进行抹黑和使其在向巴勒斯坦难民提供人类发展援助和服务方面失去合法性的持续运动的最新举措。”
The vote came the same day Israeli tanks thrust deeper into northern Gaza, trapping 100,000 civilians, the Palestinian emergency service said, in what Israel's military said were operations to eliminate regrouping Hamas militants.当天,巴勒斯坦紧急服务机构表示,以色列坦克深入加沙北部,困住了10万人,以色列军方称此举是为了消灭重新集结的哈马斯武装分子。The Israeli military said soldiers captured around 100 suspected militants in a raid on a hospital in the Jabalia camp. Hamas and medics have denied any militant presence at the hospital.以色列军方表示,士兵在对贾巴利亚营地的一家医院进行突袭时捕获了约100名嫌疑武装分子。哈马斯和医务人员否认医院内有任何武装分子存在。
The Gaza Strip's health ministry said at least 19 people were killed by Israeli airstrikes and bombardment on Monday.加沙地带卫生部表示,周一至少有19人死于以色列的空袭和炮击。The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service said around 100,000 people were marooned in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun without medical or food supplies. Reuters could not verify the number independently.巴勒斯坦民事紧急服务机构表示,约有10万人被困在贾巴利亚、贝特拉希亚和拜特哈农,缺乏医疗和食物供应。路透社无法独立核实这个数字。The emergency service said its operations had come to a halt because of the three-week Israeli assault into northern Gaza, where Israel had said it wiped out Hamas combat forces earlier in the year-long war.紧急服务机构表示,由于以色列对加沙北部进行为期三周的攻击,其救援行动已停止,以色列曾表示在这一年的战争早期已经消灭了哈马斯的作战力量。
