Brendan O’Hara has urged the UK Government to reinstate funding after a report ruled on the neutrality of the aid organisation.
An SNP MP has accused Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of a “negation of duty” for failing to reinstate funding to a UN agency supplying aid in Gaza.
Countries including Canada, France and Germany have already resumed their funding, but the UK said it was awaiting the report’s publication, which was released on Monday. The Argyll and Bute MP said he understood the initial allegations against UNWRA by Israel had to be “taken seriously”, but he added: “However, while the UK has repeatedly told Parliament that it prioritises humanitarian aid into Gaza, we only have evidence to the contrary.”
In March, the UK Government said it would take decisions on the future of UNWRA funding “as soon as we think it is possible to do so”.
