Australia among countries pausing funds for UN refugee agency for Palestinians

Australia is among a growing list of countries that have paused funding for the United Nations’ refugee agency for Palestinians, after Israel alleged some of the agency’s staff were involved in the October 7 terrorist attacks. 

On Saturday, the United Kingdom, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands and Finland became the latest countries to pause funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

The agency itself has responded to the allegations by terminating the contracts of some staff members to protect the agency’s ability to deliver humanitarian assistance.

This country’s corrupt, bourgeois, neoliberal government can rot in hell. May they ever be haunted by images of the starving children they are personally killing. Albanese, Wong, murderers.
