The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the main aid agency in Gaza, is set to lose $65 million by the end of February as donors’ funding cuts begin to kick in, according to internal accounting documents reviewed by The New York Times.

At least 18 states or institutions, including many of the agency’s biggest funders, announced they were suspending their donations to the agency, known as UNRWA, after accusations emerged last month that several employees participated in the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7.

    The countries that cut the funding after the ICJ ordered to provide humanitarian aid to the 1.5 refugees - they are now complicit in the coming genocide.

    They always scream when Israeli is accused of war crimes that we should wait for an investigation. But when the Israeli regime that has been shown to lie incessantly these past months accuses UNRWA - and on the same day of the ICJ ruling, they immediately hop to.

    It is just disgusting. And for the first time in my life I’m deeply ashamed of my country.
