Tell Congress: Restore full UNRWA funding ASAP
Each day that passes, more innocent civilians are going hungry in Gaza as the Israeli military blocks most aid trucks from reaching those in need. In January, the United States cut funding for one of Gaza’s largest sources of aid, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). Now, reports say Democrats and Republicans in Congress are making a deal to cut UNRWA funding for an entire year. International aid organizations warn that famine is imminent as 1.1 million people face starvation and dehydration.
Send a message to your member of Congress urging them to restore full funding to UNRWA as soon as possible:
At this point, the majority of Palestinians lack access to clean drinking water, over 90% of the population faces high levels of food insecurity, and experts from the World Food Programme to Doctors Without Borders warn a man-made famine is imminent, leaving 1.1 million people at risk of starvation.
Every day that our country withholds vital United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) funding, more innocent people will die of hunger and dehydration in Gaza.
I urge you to support fully restoring UNRWA funding NOW to save lives and stop this man-made starvation in Gaza ASAP!
