After an update on Israel-Iran in the House of Commons today, Seema Malhotra MP, the Member of Parliament for Feltham and Heston, has asked Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to set out a clear path for the United Kingdom to resume funding the United Nations Works and Relief Agency (UNWRA):
The core issue now must be de-escalation, an immediate ceasefire on all sides to end the devastating situation in Gaza, and a political solution for the long term. UNRWA is arguably the single biggest multilateral tool to support a political solution, and it is unmatched in its administrative ability to deliver aid. The UK stands behind other countries in not renewing funding to UNRWA. Further to the question of my hon. Friend the Member for Battersea (Marsha De Cordova), will the Prime Minister set out a clear path for funding to resume?
