“Yo. Why are you being like that? What's up?” // “I just, um, I didn't know that we were, like, running our menu by Claire. [We're not…] Should I also send my revised COGS to your girlfriend? [She's not my girlfriend.] So she's not even your girlfriend. And we're, like, arranging this menu… [She’s not…] Yeah she is, man.” // “This is what you wanted originally…” // “Stop, stop. [Sorry.] I'm sorry.”
Can confirm that the above link leads to the official US website for UNRWA!
And here's a reason for hope: the fundraiser is blasting away. They just made $50,000 in the past 3 days - let's keep it going!
"Wait, hold on, I don't know what's going on here"
What's the UNRWA?
"The U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, known as UNRWA, employs thousands of staffers and provides vital aid and services to millions of people across the Middle East. In Gaza, it has been the main supplier of food, water and shelter to civilians during the Israel-Hamas war."

If their funding is from the UN and various countries, what's up with this fundraiser?
A massive amount of UNRWA's budget was just cut in the middle of a humanitarian crisis, as the US and a number of other countries cut off aid to UNRWA completely.
They cut off aid due to Israel's allegations that 12 members of UNRWA - out of thousands of employees - were linked to the October 7th attack.
UNRWA has lost so much funding that it's going to massively deepen the humanitarian crisis there - and that funding was cut off despite the fact that, as US Secretary of State Blinken admitted yesterday (January 31, 2024) that Israel's accusations have not "born out" yet, and that the US has not even investigated the allegations themselves.
This is especially glaring and unconscionable because Israel has a documented history of lying about the events of the Israel-Gaza war and their treatment of Palestinians. x, x, x
