"Western Nations' Suspension of UNRWA Funding Sparks Palestinian Outcry"

Several Western nations, including the US, Canada, Italy, Australia, and the UK, have suspended funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) following allegations of some employees' involvement in attacks. Palestinian officials and Hamas have criticized the decision, urging for its reversal, while the agency has initiated an investigation and fired several employees. Israel has praised the funding suspension and aims to halt UNRWA's activities in Gaza, while the UN chief has pledged to conduct an independent review.
