Gaza's last lifeline

President Biden, Chancellor Scholz and all UNRWA donors:

As citizens from around the world we call on you to restore funding for UNRWA now to help avoid famine in Gaza. It's the last lifeline for starving Gazans who rely on it for everything from food, medicine and even its schools to shelter from the bombs. No other aid group can take its place if it runs out of cash by the end of February as its chief warned.

Gaza's last lifeline
Hungry Gazan children are eating grass and half the population is already at risk of starving – but the US and other big donors just FROZE funding for the UN agency providing most of the aid in Gaza.

This follows Israel accusing 12 UNRWA staff of participating in the appalling October 7 attacks. The UN agency took swift action to fire the accused and launch an investigation. But the funding freeze could become a mass death sentence.

If big donors don’t lift the freeze, UNRWA will be forced to shut down, provoking a complete collapse of lifesaving aid and pushing Gaza to the brink of famine. There’s no time to waste: all around the world, people are joining the global outcry against this collective punishment. Add your name now so Avaaz can deliver a massive call from Washington to Berlin.
