The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is under fire. The agency is responsible for the relief and work of Palestinian refugees.

17 countries - in addition to the European Union - suspended their aid to UNRWA. This decision will cause severe harm to the refugees in the five areas of operation, especially in the Gaza Strip. It is also expected that it will affect the security and stability of the region, including the security of Israel. The decision to suspend funding is illegal and may amount to a war crime.
