Germany has said it will restore cooperation and funding to Unrwa operations in the Gaza Strip after an independent review said Israel had not provided evidence to back up claims that hundreds of employees of the UN agency for Palestinians were members of terrorist organisations.

The absence so far of evidence presented to underpin Israel’s allegations has raised questions about the snap decision by 19 donor governments to cut millions of dollars of funding to Unrwa, the main channel for humanitarian support for Palestinians, even as the death toll in Gaza soared, the health system collapsed and famine began to loom.

      That’s still a big chunk, hopefully other countries step up the aid. So far it doesn’t seem like the US will do anything meaningful to prevent this genocide, unfortunately.

        The US is doing everything to make this Genocide possible. They aren’t going crash their own party.
