Description
British Foreign Office Minister Anneliese Dodds says the new UK government has decided to resume funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and committed to providing £21 million ($27 million) in new funds. UNRWA coordinates almost all of the aid distribution in Gaza but has been struggling with a lack of finances after international donors cut off funding in January due to Israeli claims that some UNRWA staff were involved in Hamas's October 7 attack that triggered the war. "UNRWA is the only organisation that can deliver aid at the scale that's needed given the humanitarian need in Gaza," says Dodds. SOUNDBITES
