"UNRWA Under Scrutiny: French Diplomat Leads Review Amid Controversy"
TL;DR Summary

The review aims to restore confidence in the organization and will be aided by three Scandinavian development thinktanks. UNRWA is facing a funding shortfall after donors, including the US and UK, suspended funding. The review's interim report will be published in late March 2024, with a final report by the end of April 2024.
