Fifteen leaders of the United Nations agencies and nongovernmental humanitarian aid organisations have appealed to the countries that paused funding for UNRWA to reconsider their decisions, Al Jazeera reports.

“Decisions by various Member States to pause funds from UNRWA will have catastrophic consequences for the people of Gaza,” the statement said.

“No other entity has the capacity to deliver the scale and breadth of assistance that 2.2 million people in Gaza urgently need,” it added.
