Who funds UNRWA?
UNRWA relies almost entirely on voluntary contributions from UN member states. The US has historically been its largest donor, but recently paused funding due to allegations some staff were involved in the October 7th attacks. This pause, and the Board of Peace's decision, significantly impact UNRWA's ability to provide aid in Gaza.
