For the second day, the Popular Committee for Palestinian Refugees in Gaza, continued the peace sit-in protest in front of the UNRWA building in Gaza City, in protest to due to the sharp decline in services provided by the international agency to the refugee in Gaza, organizers said.
Dozens of refugees gathered in front of the UNRWA building and the nearby UNRWA main headquarters, and prevented staff members from entering the buildings.
Protests organizers said that they will continue their activities until the UNRWA stops the reduction of services.
The Maan News Agency reported that the UNRWA building was closed for two hours, and all UNRWA vehicles were prevented from leaving the headquarters.
Moeen Modarres, an official at the Popular Committee of Refugees, told Maan that “an escalating strike will be held Friday, until the UN submits of the demands of the refugees”.
