As Gaza Starves, Republicans Take Aim at Another Lifeline. Almost No One Noticed.
“It seems incredibly hypocritical to suddenly be shocked by these images when every humanitarian agency has said no one can replace UNRWA"

As the world watches #Gaza starve, #Republicans in Congress quietly advanced a new ban on funding a United Nations agency that delivers food aid to Palestinians.
The #GOP-dominated House Appropriations Committee last week voted to bar financial support for the #UN Relief and Works Agency for #Palestinian Refugees in the Near East, long the main hub of aid distribution in Gaza.
If passed by Congress, the ban would reinforce a financial blockade on #UNRWA that began last year as Israel subjected the agency to an intense pressure campaign.
