"UNRWA Under Scrutiny: French Diplomat Leads Review Amid Controversy"
Former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna will lead an independent review of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, following accusations by Israel that at least 12 staff members were involved in a Hamas attack. 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.
