"UNRWA Scandal and Gaza War: Palestinian Authority Faces Funding Cuts and Salary Reductions"

The Palestinian Authority is facing severe funding cuts as a result of a dispute with Israel over the transfer of tax revenues, with international donor funding also significantly reduced. The funding situation has been exacerbated by a separate dispute over funding for UNWRA, the United Nations agency providing emergency relief for Palestinians. The funding cuts come amidst an investigation of UNRWA employees involved in an attack, and the situation has left thousands of Palestinian public sector workers without pay for months.
