The United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) said on Monday that it would not be able to continue operations in Gaza and across the region beyond the end of February if funding were not resumed.
A string of countries including the United States, Canada, Germany and Britain have paused their funding to the aid agency.
- Spain imposes border checks on Italian travelers in tit-for-tat move over Ceuta migrants row
- Canada’s avocado supply not impacted by U.S. pause on Mexico inspections
- Abbot’s kneecap returned 70 years after it was taken from 13th century grave
- U.S. Senate passes bill that would impose punishing new sanctions on Russia
That comes amid allegations that 12 UNRWA staff were involved in the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas in southern Israel.
“If the funding is not resumed, UNRWA will not be able to continue its services and operations across the region, including in Gaza, beyond the end of February,” a spokesperson for the agency said.
