The United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the main aid agency in Gaza, is set to lose $65 million by the end of February as donors’ funding cuts begin to kick in, according to internal accounting documents reviewed by The New York Times.
At least 18 states or institutions, including many of the agency’s biggest funders, announced they were suspending their donations to the agency, known as UNRWA, after accusations emerged last month that several employees participated in the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7.
This episode has left me wondering why humanitarian aid to Gaza seems to mostly come from ‘the West’. Is there a reason the Arab states don’t want to pick up the tab, at least temporarily? This sounds like chump change on a nation level…
They do, though. A lot of Palestinian aid comes from Arab states.
Do you have a source?
I just looked at UNRWA’s donor list and it seems to agree with me.
Sweden alone pays more than Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait combined

Not all aid to Palestinians goes through UNRWA.
Do you have any idea why they would want to give their aid directly to Hamas instead of through the UN?
Do YOU have a source?
Wait, do you mean a source that they are giving most of their support directly to Hamas?
Can you see the post I was replying to?
Yes, and yes. Nothing in that link mentors hamas that I can see
Then point your gaze towards the 4th paragraph
Just shut up if you have nothing (truthful) to say.
Qatar has been building a lot of hospitals in Gaza among other aid. Many of them now destroyed by Israel.
They are funding the terrorism. They don’t care about the people. North Korea paid to build much of the tunnels, and not out of passion for human rights.
