UNRWA says it is 'extremely desperate' after funding halt

BBC World Service - Newshour, UNRWA says it is 'extremely desperate' after funding halt

More countries halt funding to the largest UN agency operating in Gaza

More countries have halted funding to the largest UN agency operating in Gaza.

More countries have halted funding to UN agency for Palestinians, as the crisis deepens over the alleged role of some staff in the 7 October Hamas attacks on Israel.

We speak to a Gaza resident, who says that she and her family have relied very heavily on UNRWA.

Also in the programme: the United States has warned of a very consequential response to a drone strike that killed three American troops in Jordan; and why French farmers blockaded key routes into the French capital with hundreds of tractors.
