UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has described the UN Palestinian refugee agency (UNRWA) as “the backbone of all humanitarian response in Gaza” and appealed to all countries to “guarantee the continuity of UNRWA’s lifesaving work”.
Several countries including the United States, UNRWA’s biggest donor, paused funding after Israel accused some agency staff of taking part in the October 7 attack by Hamas.
Our spineless backwater, naturally, followed the US lead and withdrew funding. So not only does the oligopoly fund genocide, they also remove the (limp, centrist) aid provisions, directly contributing to more genocide.
I could not be more disappointed in Australia’s moronic political scene.
