The funding freeze for UNRWA, following allegations of staff involvement in attacks, poses a severe risk to Gaza’s humanitarian situation, potentially leading to famine and death for hundreds of thousands.
The agency, crucial for providing basic necessities, may run out of money this month, impacting food, water, medicine, and hospital generators.
The situation is compounded by the ongoing war, with over 27,000 Palestinians killed, 80% displaced, and UNRWA struggling to operate effectively amid Israeli restrictions and staff casualties.
The halt in operations would not only affect Palestinian refugees but also contribute to regional instability.
