UN agency head Philippe Lazzarini announced that Unrwa has enough funds until September due to new pledges of aid after US Congress blocked further funding. António Guterres pleaded with donors for support and highlighted the urgency of the situation, stating there was "no alternative" to Unrwa amidst Israel's war on Gaza.
