International staff working for the U.N.'s agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, have been forced to leave their posts after Israel's ban on the agency came into effect earlier today. UNRWA spokesperson Jonathan Fowler said Israel’s decision could trigger a collapse of humanitarian aid to Palestinians.

Jonathan Fowler: “In East Jerusalem, we serve 70,000 patients who are at the sort of bottom of the economic ladder, the most vulnerable members of society, people who don’t have access to affordable healthcare alternatives and use our free healthcare system. These people need us. They need these services. It’s like a nightmare scenario, and it’s also completely outlandish.”
