Foreign Minister Kamikawa informs the Palestinian Prime Minister of “resuming funding to UNRWA”. The Japanese government suspended funding from January this year due to suspicions that some staff members were involved in the attack on Israel by the Islamic organization Hamas.

On the 2nd, the Minister announced that contributions would be resumed as measures to improve governance were being made. Prime Minister Mustafa expressed his gratitude, saying, ``The humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip is extremely serious, and I am grateful for Japan's resumption of contributions''
