The United Nations agency responsible for Palestinian refugees has appealed to donor countries for increased financial support, warning that its operations are at risk due to a significant funding shortfall. The agency, which is no longer receiving support from the United States after allegations against some of its staff, faces uncertainty about paying salaries and maintaining essential services in the coming months. Israel has barred the agency from operating on its territory, further limiting its ability to deliver aid in Gaza and the West Bank. Despite these challenges, the agency continues to provide vital health and shelter services to Palestinians, but its chief warns that without new funding, critical assistance to millions could be compromised.
