Donations to UNRWA USA, the American charity raising funds for the UN agency supporting Palestinian refugees, have surged since the outbreak of the Gaza war.
According to data released by the organization, despite the halt in funding from the U.S. government and Israeli accusations that the agency aids Hamas, around 139,000 people have donated since the October 7 terror attack, compared to only 7,000 before the war. Donations for 2024 have surpassed $51 million, a dramatic increase from just $4 million in previous years.
