"US Congress Votes to Bar UNRWA Funding Amid Famine Warning in Gaza"
TL;DR Summary
The House of Representatives passed a spending package that bars U.S. funding for UNRWA while providing billions in military aid to Israel, with just 22 Democrats opposing the bill. Critics, including members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, argue that the legislation continues unconditional funding for Israel while restricting humanitarian aid to Palestinians. The bill now heads to the Senate, and if passed, would prevent U.S. funding for UNRWA until 2025, exacerbating the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
