It is almost impossible to provide any humanitarian aid in Gaza following the Israeli offensive on the southern city of Rafah, the director for Europe of the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees told Euronews. Some 1.4 million people sought refuge near Rafah when the Israeli offensive started more than seven months ago, in Northern Gaza. But the United Nations Palestinian Refugee Agency (UNRWA) now classifies the “safe zones” designated by Israel as “no man’s land”. The agency's director for Europe, Marta Lorenzo, told Euronews that she fears for the 800,000 people who are on the move again afte...

Geneva (AFP) - The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees said on Tuesday that $267 million in its funding was still suspended over allegations some UNRWA staff participated in the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. The accusations in January led to many donors freezing some $450 million in funding at a time when Gaza's 2.3 million people are in dire need of food, water, shelter and medicine. Many countries have since resumed their donations, while others have not -- including the United States, which passed a law blocking funding until at least March 2025. "It's money we were aware whi...
