UNRWA Warns of Food Shortages in Gaza Amidst U.S. Peace Plan and Palestinian Financial Crisis
The situation in Gaza is dire, with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) warning it may stop providing food to over a million people due to funding shortages. This comes as Palestinians commemorate the Nakba and face a potential financial crisis for the Palestinian Authority. Tensions are high with Israel, and the U.S. is set to unveil a controversial peace plan.
UNRWA's food assistance for 1 million Gaza inhabitants may end next month, adding to the existing 50 percent unemployment rate. The agency blames funding shortages. Last May, Palestinians protested the U.S. Embassy move to Jerusalem, resulting in 59 deaths. Now, a leaked Israeli report suggests the U.S. aims to create 'New Palestine', formalizing the status quo and confirming Palestinian fears.
The Palestinian Authority faces financial strangulation, with coffers expected to dry up by summer. Over 1,700 Palestinians injured by Israeli forces may require amputation due to lack of funds for treatment. Jared Kushner, the U.S. peace plan's architect, dismisses Palestinian sovereignty and promises better life if they cooperate. However, former Israeli military chief Gadi Eisenkot warns the plan may provoke violence.
Tensions between Hamas and Israel are escalating despite a recent ceasefire. The UN warns this may be the last chance to prevent all-out conflict in Gaza.
Gaza's residents face severe food shortages and a potential financial crisis for the Palestinian Authority. The U.S. peace plan, soon to be released, is expected to pose significant challenges. Tensions with Israel remain high, with the UN warning of a potential full-scale conflict.
