Restoring UNRWA funding “long overdue” but arms sales ban still needed, say campaigners

Date: 19 July 2024
Campaigns: Palestine

Responding to the UK’s restoral of UNRWA funding, Tim Bierley, campaigner at Global Justice Now said:

Restoring funding to UNRWA is welcome and long overdue. But while the UK is giving aid with one hand, it continues to send weapons used in the ongoing killing of civilians with the other. Labour has had more than enough time to review the evidence: the UK must ban all arms sales to Israel with immediate effect.”
