Palestine Urges India to Lead Gaza Reconstruction, Support UNRWA

  • Palestinian Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin called on India to actively participate in the reconstruction of war-ravaged Gaza.
  • Shahin emphasized the urgent need for assistance in Gaza due to widespread destruction from Israel's military operations since October 2023.
  • Palestine seeks India's continued humanitarian assistance for Gaza, the West Bank, and increased support for UNRWA, calling it a 'lifeline' for Palestinian refugees.
  • The minister highlighted that humanitarian aid is not entering Gaza in sufficient amounts, despite increased needs, and condemned all forms of violence.
  • Shahin is in New Delhi for the second India-Arab League foreign ministers' meeting, where Gaza's rebuilding, estimated at USD 110 billion, will be a key topic.

Why It Matters: Palestine seeks India's leadership in Gaza's reconstruction and increased humanitarian aid, including for UNRWA.
