London Resumes Funding to UNRWA

The UK government announced, Friday, Britain’s decision to unfreeze funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

British Foreign Secretary David Lammy pledged to provide the UN agency with additional support of  21 million pounds ($27 million).

Lammy told the British House of Commons: “We are canceling the decision to suspend funding for UNRWA. UNRWA is absolutely essential for providing humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, which is besieged and devastated by the war.”

The British decision comes as the Israeli occupation army has been waging a war of genocide on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, amid political and diplomatic efforts to end the work of UNRWA which provides education, health, and aid to millions of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon according to the Palestine Information Center.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) sounded the alarm on Saturday over a rapidly escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the Gaza Strip.

“All basic supplies are running out in Gaza. It means babies, children are going to bed hungry,” Juliette Touma, the agency’s director of communications, said in a statement.

“Six weeks into the Israeli-imposed siege blocking the entry of aid and commercial supplies, food stocks are nearly gone, bakeries closed, and hunger is spreading,” the agency also noted.

The UNRWA emphasized that “immediate action is needed to prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis.”

The Israeli army renewed a deadly assault on Gaza on March 18, shattering the ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement that took hold in January.

More than 50,900 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
