The humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening with more than 26,000 Gaza Palestinians killed and another 1.7 million displaced since October 7th.

At least a dozen countries have announced they will be suspending funds…

  1. Unrwa seems to think they are entitled to funds from hard working citizens of world like a right. They are not thankful for monies received but angry people will not give them more even if they are creating the terrorists to create more refugees.

  2. That is how suspension works. ,suspend while investigating. Can keep funding terrorists while the investigation is dragged out.

  3. Why is unrwa needed if Gaza has an elected government hamas. Why is unrwa doing what hamas is supposed to do take care of it’s own citizens.

  4. She still hasnt seen the evidence cause she refuses to see the evidence. Hilel neur of un watch for years informed the united nation about unrwa but fell on deaf ears.

  5. So Americans and the West give money to Gaza to improve life and well being among Palestinian population.

    Americans and the West find out that contributed funds is actually used for terrorism and war mongering.

    Americans and the West cut funding and Aljazeera says this is totally unacceptable.

  6. Grazie, Francesca Albanese.
    Sei la voce di tutti noi.
    Tutta la mia stima e solidarietà per il tuo compito così difficile
    Grazie.❤

  7. Defunding Harvard, UN . I think the western countries are evolving at last! How sad 😂😂😂 I will boycott any Hollywood celebrity pleading funding for UN! I’m sure the UN don’t plead funding Palestinians in Arab media or receive any Catholic refugee asylum seekers 😂😂😂

  8. An UNRWA-created Arabic reading comprehension exercise for 9th graders at UNRWA’s Al Maghazi Middle School for Boys B (Gaza), which celebrated a Palestinian firebombing attack on a Jewish bus as a “barbecue party”.

    A grade 5 Arabic language lesson that directly praised Palestinian terrorist leaders, such as Izz al-Din al-Qassam and Dalal Mughrabi, as positive role models.

    A grade 5 Islamic Education textbook that contains content inciting violence and Jihad against Israel and others. (Islamic Education, Grade 5, Vol. 1, 2023, p. 38)

  9. Why are the Muslim countries not supporting their own. Why do they not allow Gazans into the Muslim countries. Why blame Israel for everything. There can never be peace in Israel as long as the United Nations exist in its current form. Am Israel Chai.

  10. No reason for humanitarian aid to collapse. The wealthy Arab countries should finally start funding UNRWA – after all, it's a Muslim population. They should be ashamed that of the 15 top donors to UNRWA, the Saudis and Turkey are the ONLY TWO MUSLIM COUNTRIES who donate, and nowhere near the top. Palestinians are almost completely sponsored by CHRISTIAN countries! WHY??????????????????????????????????????

  11. UNRWA is a self-perpetuating bureaucracy whose sole purpose is to keep Palestinians as refugees for generations even if they live in Europe, the US, or Canada. They have a 1.6 BILLION dollar annual budget and they achieve nothing but teaching hatred to the Palestinian children. Israel has complained about their schools which teach that killing Jews is the highest calling, at the UN for years, but nobody cared. Now, since Oct 7 when they found dead UNRWA workers' bodies among the attackers of Jewish civilians, there is no more doubt about their true mission. The humanitarian work is just a facade like the hospitals are a facade for the tunnels and mosques for ammunition depots. Hamas laughs in the face of the Geneva Convention, except when it brings it up to blame the Jews for attacking "protected" buildings. People who support Hamas are useful idiots for Iranian-sponsored terror engulfing the Middle East.

  12. Hill, you right in your comfort zone. They got caught – . There is no unpacking to be done. Another example of the UN funding terrorist. The funds will be reinstated. This is a simple political action because the only defense comes from the mouths of people like Hill and this other anti-Semite.

  13. Can you imagine if a Middle Eastern country had set up an unlawful military base on U.S. territory!!??
    The World is getting very angry with the U.S. constantly warmongering, while it's reported that millions of U.S. citizens can't afford healthcare for their families & the queue for U.K. NHS operations is now over 8 million people!!
    Meanwhile, all Jewish citizens of Israel get free healthcare & education while we're sending them billions of our taxpayers' hard-earned money!!?? so they can continue to commit war crimes!!??
    Something is very, very, very wrong!!!!

  15. The ATM Machine that is America is going to be largely put out of service come this November. Americans want more of their tax dollars to be spent at home. We're funny that way.
