Norway said Monday that it was increasing its funding to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) by 100 million kroner ($9.3 million).
“Unrwa is the backbone of the humanitarian response in Gaza,” Norway’s minister for international development, Anne Beathe Kristiansen Tvinnereim, said in a statement.
“The war, accusations made by Israel, continuous attacks on the organisation and funds withheld by major donors, have put Unrwa in an extremely difficult financial situation,” she said.
