UN envoy on Palestine slams countries suspending funds for UNRWA

US, UK, and others pulled funding after Israel accused agency of supporting Oct 7 attacks

ANKARA – The United Nations (UN) special rapporteur on Palestine has decried countries that have announced a suspension of funds to the UN Agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) that provides humanitarian aid to Palestinians, following allegations of involvement by its employees in the October 7 attacks on Israel.

“The day after International Criminal Court (ICJ) concluded that Israel is plausibly committing genocide in Gaza, some states decided to defund UNRWA collectively punishing millions of Palestinians at the most critical time, and most likely violating their obligations under the Genocide Convention,” Francesca Albanese wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.

The US, UK, Italy, Australia, Canada, Finland, and Netherlands decided to suspend funding to UNRWA following the claims, Anadolu Agency reported.

After the allegations by Israel, UNRWA said Friday that it had terminated contracts with several staffers for their alleged involvement in the attack.

Norway welcomed investigations of some staffers but said it would continue to support Palestinians via UNRWA.

Ireland also announced earlier that it would not suspend funding to the UN agency.

Despite a provisional ruling Friday by the ICJ that ordered Tel Aviv to prevent acts of genocide in Gaza, Israel continued its onslaught against the coastal enclave where at least 26,257 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and 64,797 injured since October 7, according to Palestinian authorities. – January 28, 2024
