Guterres warns of UNRWA funding crisis
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) is facing a severe funding crisis, requiring $100 million to avoid collapse. UN Secretary-General António Guterres called on the international community to provide urgent support after reductions and austerity measures affected the agency's services, which assist and aid approximately 2.6 million Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria. The agency's funding has been cut off by the United States and Sweden amid Israeli accusations against staff members of participating in attacks, leading to resource depletion and worsening the crisis.
