  • Food and other humanitarian aid supplies to Gaza have improved in April, but there is still far from enough to reverse the trend towards famine, said the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees. Only a handful of countries, including top donor United States, still have a block on their funds to UNRWA following Israeli accusations that members of its staff took part in the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks. UNRWA Senior Communications Manager Jonathan Fowler joins FRANCE 24's Genie Godula to discuss the 'unprecedented humanitarian crisis" in war-torn Gaza and how the US funding ban is affecting the UN agency's operations assisting Palestinian refugees.

    UNRWA is irrevocably broken. They’ve had plenty of time and opportunity to fix it but chose to ignore it and claim ignorance. Sometimes when an organization is so broken at so many levels all you can do is replace it. In my mind they are done.

    Why is middle eastern countries with oil money not saving their Muslim people? America is not supposed to save everyone with our tax money. We are suffering too just trying to live as we're not rich.

    One fact that got buried in the ruble
    via Gaza :
    🇮🇱 early in the conflict dropped
    pamphlets to Gazans to call the
    anamous number to report the
    hide ours of Hamas and save 🇵🇸
    As of 05 - 2024 , not a single call.

      Only the US has a legal obligation dating from 1948 to feed and house the Palestinians that were denied a state that was promised to them by the US and the UN in 1948. You know very little about this topic and should stick to your knitting.

      We don't owe Palestinians or Israelis anything. Some of the wealthiest countries are right next door. And not only are they not helping with aid they don't even want them in their countries.
