UK Restores £21 Million Funding to UNRWA, David Lammy Announces
Jul 19, 2024, 10:04 AM
The British government has announced the restoration of funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the UN aid agency in Gaza. This decision was confirmed by Foreign Secretary David Lammy, who stated that the suspension of funding, which was imposed following allegations that some UNRWA staff participated in the October 7 attacks on Israel, has been lifted. Lammy emphasized that the UN has acted to ensure the highest standards of neutrality. The UK will provide £21 million in new funds to support the humanitarian response in Gaza and provide essential services for refugees across the region. This move marks the first significant intervention on Gaza by the new Labour government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer. UNRWA is recognized for its crucial role in delivering food aid, shelter, and medical care to the population in Gaza, where it is already feeding over half of the population.
