UNITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 18th May, 2021) The latest bombardment of the Gaza Strip may constitute a form of collective punishment in contravention to international law, the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) said in a statement on Monday.
"In the Gaza Strip, where [nearly] 70% of the population are Palestine refugees, the latest bombardment is being carried out as the besieged coastal enclave enters the 14th year of a blockade, which may amount to collective punishment contrary to international law," UNRWA said via Twitter.
