The new Labour government in the UK has announced it will resume funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) for Palestinian refugees, reversing a suspension imposed by the previous Conservative government. Foreign Secretary David Lammy confirmed a commitment of £21 million ($27 million) to support the agency, which provides essential services like education and healthcare to millions of Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere. The suspension was initially based on unsubstantiated claims that some UNRWA staff were involved in Hamas's October 7 attacks on Israel. An independent review reassured the UK government about UNRWA's neutrality standards. Lammy emphasized the critical role of UNRWA in addressing the severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, including malnutrition and disease outbreaks. The move aligns the UK with other countries that have resumed funding, though the US has not yet reinstated its support.
