Reinstate Funding to UNRWA to Address Gaza Hunger Crisis

The suspension of $450 million in contributions to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine (UNRWA) due to uncorroborated allegations of staff involvement in a Hamas attack has exacerbated the hunger crisis in Gaza. The UN Office of Internal Oversight Services has yet to receive any supporting evidence from Israel, despite launching an investigation in January. It is crucial to reinstate funding to UNRWA, an agency that provides essential services to impoverished communities. The EU's decision to resume funding upon completion of the investigation and implementation of reforms sets a precedent that should be followed.
