The statement also confirmed that this decision was taken in the context of the urgent humanitarian situation in Gaza and the new commitments UNRWA made to Sweden regarding increased transparency and tightening of monitoring procedures.
After the Israeli regime claimed that 12 UNRWA employees were somehow involved in the October 7 operation against the occupation regime, several Western countries announced that they had stopped funding last January.
UNRWA, which provides health, education and other services, has faced a major crisis since the Zionist regime claimed that 12 of the agency’s 13,000 staff in Gaza were involved in the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
