Japan said that it would lift its suspension of funding to the UN’s Palestinian refugee agency. The sixth-biggest donor to the agency, Japan along with 15 other countries paused about $450 million in funding following the allegation by Israel in January, throwing the agency’s operations in the war-torn Gaza Strip into turmoil. Countries including Australia and Canada have since restored funding to UNRWA, the largest relief body operating in Gaza, which has been besieged by Israel since the attack.
