UNRWA

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) provides humanitarian assistance to Palestinian refugees across the Middle East. Currently, UNRWA faces scrutiny over its operations in Gaza, with US officials like Marco Rubio criticizing it as a 'subsidiary of Hamas.' Recent developments include an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which ruled that Israel must cooperate with UN agencies, including UNRWA, to facilitate aid delivery. This decision highlights ongoing tensions and debates over UNRWA's role in Gaza, particularly concerning its perceived support for Hamas and allegations of corruption.
