Italy’s Foreign Minister announced the resumption of funding for Palestinian refugees through the UN agency UNRWA, with rigorous controls to prevent misuse. Italian aid, totaling 35 million euros, includes 5 million euros for UNRWA and 30 million euros for the “Food for Gaza” initiative. This decision, amid the Palestinian Prime Minister’s visit to Rome, aims to support peace efforts and calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. UNRWA, essential for Palestinian welfare, faced funding crises after allegations of employee involvement in attacks, prompting many nations to suspend aid. The move underscores Italy’s commitment to humanitarian assistance and peace in the region.
