The European Union has committed to sending funds to Gaza's main aid provider, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), despite allegations of some UNRWA employees being involved in the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. The EU will provide EUR 50 million to UNRWA, with a promise of continued support in the future. This decision comes after concerns about UNRWA's funding and operations, particularly in the context of the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Before the Israel-Hamas war broke out, much of UNRWA’s funding was directed at education, including running schools for more than 500,000 children. Learn more: https://t.co/HdY1fMd0Ex
