Negotiations are currently underway between the US State Department and Congress to resolve the impasse concerning a $75 million fund designated for the assistance of Palestinian refugees.

The fund is intended to flow through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) and has the objective of furnishing crucial food aid to vulnerable Palestinians residing in the West Bank and Gaza. This initiative addresses the mounting challenges associated with the increased costs of both food and transportation in the region.

Nevertheless, certain Republican legislators are stipulating that UNRWA must confirm its adherence to specific criteria and disavow any form of antisemitic discourse before the funds can be unblocked.

An official spokesperson from the US State Department has confirmed that active communication is ongoing with Congress to expedite the disbursement of the $75 million fund, which is earmarked to extend essential food support to Palestinian refugees through UNRWA.

The US government is firmly behind the expeditious deployment of these funds to tackle the urgent food crisis affecting vulnerable Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. The allocation comes as a response to the mounting cost challenges related to food and transportation prevailing in the region.

Founded in 1949 by the United Nations General Assembly, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) has the mission of offering aid to Palestinian refugees in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza. At present, the agency serves a population of approximately 5.6 million Palestinian refugees.
