Japan will lift its suspension of funding to the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa has told local media, Reuters reports.

Tokyo in January decided to suspend additional funding to the agency while it conducted an investigation into an allegation that its staff were involved in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, which sparked conflict in the Gaza Strip.

The accusations by Israel led 16 countries including the United States to pause $450 million in funding to the UNRWA, throwing its operations into turmoil. The agency is the largest relief body operating in Gaza, which has been besieged by Israel since the attack.

Japan is the sixth biggest donor to the agency, according to the UNRWA’s 2022 data.
