UNRWA Funding Cuts Threaten Humanitarian Aid in Gaza

The UN's agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, has warned that vital supplies for Gaza and operations in the West Bank and three other countries are at risk of collapse due to funding cuts, with schools, clinics, and aid services facing closure by the end of February. Multiple countries, including the US and the UK, have paused funding after accusations against UNRWA staff, leading to a potential funding gap of at least $440m. The situation could lead to a humanitarian crisis affecting millions of Palestinians and spark instability in the region.
