TL;DR Summary

The head of the U.N. agency for Palestinian aid, UNRWA, is struggling to secure funding from Arab states, with only enough to last through May. This comes after the U.S. and other Western countries cut off aid due to allegations of UNRWA employees' involvement in a Hamas attack. UNRWA is facing allegations from Israel as well, and if it can't secure more funding, it may have to scale back its humanitarian activities in Gaza, impacting over a million people. Saudi Arabia and other Arab states are hesitant to donate until there is clarity on Gaza's political future, with Israel opposing Hamas' political control.
