The United Arab Emirates has allocated $5 million in support of efforts of chief United Nations Coordinator for the U.N. Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA), Sigrid Kaag, towards the reconstruction of the Gaza strip, state news agency WAM reported on Saturday.
Major donors to UNRWA earlier suspended funding after allegations emerged that around 12 of its tens of thousands of Palestinian employees were suspected of involvement in the Oct. 7 attacks.
