UN chief calls for resumed funding of Palestinian aid agency after allegations of militant ties

By Economic Times - 10 months ago
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urges countries to resume funding for UNRWA, the main aid agency in Gaza, amid accusations that a dozen of its employees participated in a Hamas attack on Israel. Guterres warns of scaling back aid to over 2 million Palestinians by February, emphasizing the dire humanitarian crisis. The US and eight other countries, comprising nearly 60% of UNRWA's budget, have suspended funding. Meanwhile, progress is reported in US-brokered cease-fire talks between Israel and Hamas, aiming for a two-month halt to the deadly conflict.
