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.
