Key UN Gaza aid agency UNRWA runs into diplomatic storm

Key UN Gaza aid agency UNRWA runs into diplomatic storm
UNRWA is a lifeline in Gaza, but several countries have paused aid over claims staff helped attack Israel.

Now, as several Western governments freeze their funding, the agency is again in potentially serious trouble - with significant implications for the 5.3 million Palestinian refugees registered with it. The US, one of the countries taking the decision, is its biggest donor, contributing some $340m (£268m) in 2022. Germany, which has also suspended financing, comes next, having sent $162m that year.
