What impact would the collapse of UNRWA have on the humanitarian situation in Gaza? | DW News

Описание: The main UN agency set up to assist Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, is facing a cash crisis. UNRWA has said it will run out of money in the coming days, after major donor nations suspended their funding. The freeze came after Israel said that several UNRWA workers were involved in the October 7 terror attacks by Hamas. The agency has dismissed the workers in question and an independent investigation is underway. Now the agency's future is at stake – leaving long-term humanitarian aid for Gaza in doubt.

For more, we talk to Jonathan Fowler – a spokesman for UNWRA, currently in Amman, Jordan.

And we talk to Matthias Schmale. He is a senior UN advisor based in Addis Ababa, but also a former UNRWA director in Gaza.
