Excluding US' Decision, UNRWA Says All Except UK, Austria, Switzerland Resumed Funding

Excluding the US funding decision through next March, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) chief said on Tuesday that all countries except the UK, Austria, and Switzerland resumed funding to the agency.

"The United States has clearly indicated that they will freeze the suspension until March 2025. B..., the UK has not yet taken a decision," Philippe Lazzarini told a news conference in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported.

He added that no decisions have been made by Austria and Switzerland as well.

"So these three countries are still suspending, all the other countries have resumed," he said.

Regarding Italy's suspension, he noted that the country has not yet contributed to the agency since the new government took office.
