Japan Restores Funding to UNRWA Amid Gaza Humanitarian Crisis

The decision follows a lack of evidence supporting allegations against UNRWA staff, as Japan aims to address the urgent humanitarian needs in Gaza.

Japan has announced it will resume funding to the UNRWA, reversing its suspension amid allegations of staff involvement in an attack on Israel.
The decision comes as humanitarian needs in Gaza intensify, with reports indicating a looming famine affecting about half of Gaza's population.
UNRWA, which provides essential services to Palestinian refugees, had faced a funding crisis after several countries suspended aid following Israel's allegations.
Japan, along with countries like Australia, Canada, and the EU, is reinstating support, contributing approximately $35 million in aid this fiscal year.
Investigations into the allegations against UNRWA staff have not substantiated the claims, leading to the resumption of funding by multiple nations.
