Turkey Supports UNRWA, Plans Ankara Office, Calls for Aid

The United Nations' agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, is getting more support from Turkey.

Turkey's president, Erdogan, said they will open an office in Ankara to help UNRWA.

He wants other countries to give UNRWA money and support too.

Turkey has already been giving UNRWA money.

This comes after Israel banned UNRWA because they said some employees were connected to Hamas.

UNRWA helps provide aid to Palestinians, but Israel is now controlling much of the aid that goes into Gaza.

Erdogan thinks it's important to help UNRWA so they can continue to help Palestinian refugees.
