Qatar, Spain Step Forward as UNRWA Faces Funding Crisis
Qatar's Prime Minister reaffirmed support for UNRWA, warning of consequences if funding is cut. Spain pledged an additional €3.5 million to address the shortfall after major donors suspended funding following allegations against UNRWA staff. Meanwhile, Israeli attacks in Gaza killed 30 Palestinians in central Gaza, with rescue efforts ongoing. Israeli snipers killed seven near al-Shifa Hospital. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported at least 27,478 deaths and 66,835 injuries since October 7, with 113 killed and 205 injured in the last 24 hours. The UN states 85% of Gaza's population is displaced, facing severe shortages, and 60% of infrastructure is damaged or destroyed. Israeli forces detained officials at Al-Amal hospital and 22 Palestinians in the West Bank, bringing total detained to nearly 6,540. Attacks intensify in Khan Younis and Deir al-Balah.
