UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act of 2025

# UNRWA Funding Emergency Restoration Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would restore emergency funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the UN organization that provides humanitarian aid, education, and healthcare services to Palestinian refugees. The bill currently has minimal publicly available details about the specific funding amount or mechanisms, as it remains in the early committee stage. **Who It Affects:** The legislation would primarily affect Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria who depend on UNRWA services. It would also impact U.S. foreign aid spending and U.S.-UN relations. The bill reflects ongoing debates about U.S.

support for Palestinian humanitarian needs. **Current Status:** HR 2411 is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. As a newly introduced bill, it has a long way to go before becoming law. The bill was introduced by Rep. André Carson (D-IN), and its future depends on committee action and broader congressional support.
