- In short: Australia will resume its funding to the primary aid agency operating inside Gaza, UNRWA.
- Funding was paused by several nations after Israel claimed several workers had links to the October 7 terror attack by Hamas.
- What’s next? The government has committed additional support to Gaza, including assistance in delivering aid drops.

there have been several reports by foreign media casting doubt on the veracity of Israel’s claims
If there’s any truth to that, I hope UNRWA has compensated and apologised to the people they fired.
There may have been members of the UNRWA involved but, as I pointed out 2 months ago, the accused represented about 0.006% of the UNRWA’s employees.
It would be proportional to defunding the entire ADF over the volume of war crime accusations during Afghanistan/Iraq.
Even prior to the news that Israel obtained their “evidence” via war crimes (torture), the instantaneous defunding of the UNRWA without any due process was criminally disproportionate — a crime against humanity in and of itself.
