EU's top diplomat issues warning about UNRWA funding


The European Union's top diplomat Josep Borrell says defunding UNRWA "would put hundreds of thousands of lives at risk."

The UN agency provides humanitarian support to Palestinians but multiple countries - including the U.S. - have recently frozen their funding for it.

That's after 12 UNRWA staff have been accused of taking part in the 7th October Hamas attacks on Israel last year.
