After Suspending UNRWA Funding, U.S. Aims to Send Aid to Other Groups Operating in Gaza
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - The U.S. is looking at sending its humanitarian funding for Gaza to other agencies after deciding last month to suspend aid to UNRWA, the State Department said Monday. "We're looking at what options exist for supporting civilians in Gaza through partners like the World Food Program, UNICEF and other NGOs," deputy spokesman Vedant Patel said. "We will redirect funding for UNRWA to other partners to provide assistance in Gaza." Typically, the U.S. provides UNRWA with between $300 and $400 million annually, making it the world's largest donor to the agency.
