Nine countries have paused funding for the UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) following Israeli allegations that some of its staff were involved in Hamas’s October 7 attacks.

The US, Britain, Germany, Japan, Australia, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Finland have halted funding to the aid agency, a critical source of humanitarian support for over a million displaced people in Palestine’s besieged Gaza suffering from a lack of food, water, medicine and adequate shelter due to Israel’s relentless strikes and ongoing blockade.

UNRWA addressed the allegations by stating that it had fired several employees over the accusations, promising a thorough investigation into Israel’s claims.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry denounced the decision of the key donor countries, calling it a “collective punishment” of the Palestinian people that revealed “miserable double standards”.

Encouraging more donor suspensions, Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz said UNRWA should be replaced once fighting in the enclave dies down and accused it of having ties with the Palestinian resistance group Hamas in Gaza.

Amid Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza, UNRWA has played a key role in providing aid and shelter to displaced Palestinians through its 700 schools across the enclave.
UNRWA was initially set up to help refugees of the 1948 Nakba, when over 700,000 Palestinians were violently expelled from their homes during the founding of the State of Israel, and now employs tens of thousands of people, providing education, health and aid services to Palestinians in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

The United Nations said Israel’s war on Gaza, now approaching its 100th day, has created a dire humanitarian crisis, marking a stain on humanity.

Since October 7, Israel has initiated blockades and has been relentlessly bombarding the besieged Palestinian territory, resulting in the deaths of 23,843 people, the majority of them being women and children, according to Palestinian health officials.

Israel’s actions have led to severe shortages of food, water, medicine and fuel in the blockaded enclave, causing the collapse of the health system.

"The massive death, destruction, displacement, hunger, loss and grief of the last 100 days are staining our shared humanity," the head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, Philippe Lazzarini, said during a visit to Gaza.

Nearly a million residents have been displaced from northern Gaza after Israeli ultimatums and incessant strikes on homes, hospitals, churches, mosques and marketplaces.

The war of 1948, when Palestinians fled or were expelled from their homes, is seared into their collective memory.

During the Middle East war, Israelis forced hundreds of thousands of Palestinians out of their lands — the mass displacement is known as the Nakba, the Arabic word for catastrophe.

Many have voiced fears that, like their ancestors, they will never be allowed back if forced from their homes now.

Israeli forces have for weeks warned Palestinians to flee northern Gaza for the south, which it is also bombing, saying they would be allowed back home once its war on the enclave is ended.

Palestinians have no trust in the Israeli government’s promises and fear their displacement is permanent.

Most Palestinians in besieged Gaza are registered as refugees after their ancestors were forced out of their homes within Israel’s disputed borders in 1948.

Palestinian-American supermodel Bella Hadid took to Instagram with a long statement saying she has been dealing with threats but is no longer afraid.

“My heart is bleeding with the pain from the trauma I am seeing unfold, as well as the generational trauma of my Palestinian blood,” she said.

She added that she mourns for the Israeli families that are dealing with the pain and aftermath of 7 October.

She spoke about her father’s story and how he and his family became refugees during the Nakba, saying that it is important to understand the hardship of what it is to be Palestinian, “in a world that sees us as nothing more than terrorists resisting peace”.

“We must all stand together in defending humanity and compassion - and demanding that our leaders do the same. All religions are peace - it is governments that are corrupt, and intertwining the two makes for the greatest sin of all. We are one, and God has created all equal. All bloodshed, tears, and bodies should be mourned with the same respect"

The Arbëreshë, also known as Albanians of Italy, are an Albanian ethnolinguistic group in Southern Italy, mostly concentrated in scattered villages in the region of Calabria and, to a lesser extent, in the regions of Abruzzo, Apulia, Basilicata, Campania, Molise and Sicily.

They are the descendants of Albanian refugees who fled Albania, and later some from Morea between the 14th and the 18th centuries following the Ottoman conquest of the Balkans.

Nowadays, most of the fifty Arbëreshë communities are adherents to the Italo-Albanian Church, an Eastern Catholic Church.

The Arbëreshë speak Arbëresh, a Tosk Albanian variety involving code-mixing with regional Romance languages of Italy. It is of particular interest to students of the modern Albanian language as it retains speech sounds, morphosyntactic and vocabulary elements of the language spoken in pre-Ottoman Albania. In Italy, the Albanian language (and not specifically Arbëresh) is protected by law number 482/99, concerning the protection of the historic linguistic minorities.

It is estimated that there are about 100,000 Italo-Albanians (400,000 if including those outside of Italy); they constitute one of the oldest and largest minorities in Italy. Being Italian and Arbëreshë are both central to Italo-Albanians' identity.

Among the Arbëreshë the memory of Skanderbeg and his exploits was maintained and survived through songs

The Arbëreshë cuisine is a mix of Albanian cuisine with Sicilian, Calabrian, and Lucanian influences. Traditional dishes include: Strangujët, Kanojët and Bukë
