Saudi Arabia sent 17 million USD to UNRWA in 2023[1], UAE 15, Qatar 9, Jordan 7.8, Oman 3.2, Bahrain 3, Kuwait 2, Lebanon 1.1 (see the PDF for others). It’s not like these countries haven’t provided aid. And sending money to the UNRWA (or WFP) might be better than doing everything yourself. These orgs already have a full system in place to get and distribute resources. But it doesn’t matter, neither UNRWA nor anyone else can get aid into Gaza right now.
