The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), in response to allegations of staff involvement in a Hamas attack on Israel, had its funding suspended by several nations, including the US, while others consider following suit. The agency, which provides essential aid such as food, shelter, protection, and operates hundreds of schools across the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, has warned of a shutdown of all operations by the end of February if funding is not restored. This could lead to catastrophic consequences for the populace of the Gaza Strip and halt vital supplies of fuel, bread flour, and other aid supplies coordinated by the agency. In response to the allegations, UNRWA has terminated the contracts of the implicated employees and commenced an investigation.
