Restoring UNRWA Funding: Emergency Aid for Palestinian Refugees.

This bill mandates the immediate restoration of U.S. funding to UNRWA, the UN agency providing essential humanitarian aid, healthcare, and education to millions of Palestinian refugees, particularly in Gaza. The change reverses previous legislative actions that halted the funds, aiming to mitigate the catastrophic humanitarian crisis and prevent famine in the region. This action aligns U.S. policy with key allies who have already resumed their contributions.
