The United Nations Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) has said that it would not be able to continue operations in Gaza and across the region beyond the end of February if funding were not resumed, Reuters reports.
A string of countries including the United States, Germany and Britain have paused their funding to the aid agency in the wake of allegations that 12 UNRWA staff were involved in the Oct 7 attacks by Hamas in southern Israel.
“If the funding is not resumed, UNRWA will not be able to continue its services and operations across the region, including in Gaza, beyond the end of February,” a spokesperson for the agency said.
