UN warns of “catastrophic consequences” of suspension of funding to UNRWA. According to Israel, 12 members of this UN agency responsible for helping Palestinian refugees were involved in the attacks on October 7.
12 countries announced the suspension of their aid toUNRWA, including the main supporters of Israel (United States, United Kingdom, Germany) but also Japan. “Without this funding, the outlook for UNRwa and the millions of people it helps is very bleak,” Antonio Guterres spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said on Monday.
