The Biden administration continues to diplomatically support the United Nations’ chief Palestinian aid organization through UNRWA Funding
The U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) plays a critical role in the delivery of humanitarian assistance in Gaza and the country is coordinating with countries that have not paused the UNRWA funding for the group following revelations that its employees participated in Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel.
State Department spokesman said that we must continue to coordinate with other donors, both those that have suspended UNRWA funding and those continuing to fund UNRWA, as we continue to work to address the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
While we will continue to provide money for UNRWA to organizations like the World Food Program, we will be looking to other donors to continue to provide critical funding to UNRWA as long as our funding remains canceled.
The Biden admin paused millions in taxpayer funding to UNRWA
The Biden administration paused millions in taxpayer funding to UNRWA last January, after it became clear that at least a dozen of the aid group’s workers participated in Hamas’s terror strike on Israel, last October.
The Biden administration’s diplomatic support for UNRWA appears to have motivated several countries to resume UNRWA funding. Japan announced on Friday it will resume aid to UNRWA, while France confirmed the same on Thursday.
