The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the main aid agency in Gaza, is set to lose $65 million by the end of February as donors’ funding cuts begin to kick in, according to internal accounting documents reviewed by The New York Times.
At least 18 states or institutions, including many of the agency’s biggest funders, announced they were suspending their donations to the agency, known as UNRWA, after accusations emerged last month that several employees participated in the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
I won’t engage with you any further, but I’m curious how you expect Gazans to sing peace’s praises when Israel on the other side of the border keeps electing PMs who campaign on denying Palestinians their right to self-determination (and food. And water. And housing. And existence in general).
I don’t, I only answered your question (“How is UNRWA perpetuating anything?”). Most of which was quoted from an article I linked.
I’m not the original poster you originally replied to. I actually agree with what you say about Israel perpetuating the conflict too, probably more. But UNRWA is undeniably doing its part too.
Not really. That’s Gazans being rightfully mad at Israel. I mean there’s not much you can do to make Gazans pretend to be peace-loving hippies inside classrooms. Like imagine going “we should strive for peace, violence is bad” to people who had their homes destroyed and families murdered by Israel. Idk about you but even if I bought the peace stuff (not happening with the current Israeli political landscape and it’s not getting better) I wouldn’t have the heart to preach that stuff in front of kids the IDF orphaned.
