Kuwait has handed its annual $2 million contribution to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), the Kuwaiti state news agency KUNA reported on Thursday.
UNWRA said on Tuesday it had sufficient funds to run its operations until the end of May after many donors paused their funding over Israeli accusations that some staff took part in Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, which triggered war in Gaza.
UNRWA provides aid and essential services to Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli-occupied West Bank and across the wider region.

Kuwait has revealed that four Iranian military officers arrested in early May while attempting to enter the country by sea have confessed to belonging to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and being tasked with infiltrating Bubiyan Island, Kuwait's largest island located close to the Iranian coast.
Yasser Abbas, the millionaire businessman son of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, has secured a seat on Fatah's Central Committee - the party's highest decision-making body - fuelling speculation that the 90-year-old president may be grooming his son as a political successor.
Iran's foreign ministry on Tuesday condemned Kuwait's arrest of four people it said were affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guards.
