The UK was one of other countries that halted funding to UNRWA following accusations by Israel that some of the staff of the agency were involved in the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas.
David Lammy, new UK Foreign Minister, tells parliament that he was reassured that the agency had taken steps to “ensure it meets the highest standards of neutrality.”
“I can confirm to the house that we are overturning the suspension of UNRWA funding, Britain will provide 21 million [pounds] in funds” to the agency, he says.
