Members of US Congress send letter calling for full funding of Unrwa

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal spearheaded a letter on Wednesday calling for the US to fully fund the United Nations agency for Palestine Refugees (Unrwa).

The letter comes a month after several senators introduced a bill that would completely cut funding to the UN agency, which is currently providing humanitarian assistance to the residents of Gaza.

The US suspended funding to the group after Israel alleged that several Unrwa workers were involved in the 7 October Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel.
