Funding cuts threaten to slash the United Nations agency’s support for Palestinians by roughly a third, reducing aid from 1.6 million to 1.1 million beneficiaries. The reduction reflects deepening financial constraints on the relief program, raising concerns over basic services and humanitarian assistance in the region. With no immediate signs of restored funding, the decision could leave hundreds of thousands without critical aid. The move underscores broader challenges in sustaining long-term humanitarian operations amid global economic pressures.
The number of people helped by the UN agency in the Palestinian territory will drop by about a third - from 1.6 million to 1.1 million.
