UNRWA faces funding cuts risk across Palestinian camps
Palestinians brace for possible U.S. funding reductions to UNRWA amid calls to cut tens of millions from a planned 125 million installment. Mahmoud al-Qouqa and his 25 relatives rely on UNRWA rations as Gaza endures poverty, unemployment, and blockade after years of conflict. The fallout could ripple through host countries and regional stability, with Netanyahu urging abolition and UNRWA’s mandate under scrutiny by Israel and international bodies.
