JAKARTA - Hamas on Saturday called Israel's accusations against UN institutions baseless accusations aimed at preventing the provision of aid to people in the Gaza Strip, which is the target of genocide.

The latest is the baseless charge against the World Health Organization (WHO) for what Israel calls a conspiracy with the Hamas movement, reiterating false claims about hospital use in military operations (Hamas), the Palestinian group said in a statement, quoted from Antara, Sunday.

Hamas also condemned Israel's accusations against the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) aimed at "cutting funding and seizing the rights of our people to get services from these international agencies."

Israel previously accused Hamas of using hospitals in the Gaza Strip for military purposes to justify Israeli attacks and bombings, even though the hospital was a shelter for refugees. Hamas has repeatedly denied the allegations.

Hamas asked the United Nations and international institutions not to give up on Israel's threats and slander.

The group emphasizes the importance of the role of agencies (UN) in providing assistance to our people, and documenting occupation crimes (Israeli forces).

The WHO on Friday denied Israel's accusations of "collusion" with Hamas and "opened the eyes" against the suffering of Israeli hostages in Gaza.
