The United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) said that it would not be able to continue operations in Gaza and across the region beyond the end of February if funding were not resumed, Report informs, citing CBC.
A string of countries, including the US, Canada, and Britain, have paused their funding to the aid agency in the wake of allegations that 12 UNRWA staff were involved in the October 7 attacks led by Hamas in southern Israel.
"If the funding is not resumed, UNRWA will not be able to continue its services and operations across the region, including in Gaza, beyond the end of February," a spokesperson for the agency said.
Several European Union countries paused funding for the agency as well.
