Today, the Government of #Sweden announced its decision to stop funding UNRWA.
As UNRWA is the backbone of humanitarian aid in #Gaza, this decision will have a direct impact on the ground, including in terms of logistics, fuel and provision of services. UNRWA is also key in supporting the human development of #PalestineRefugees.
Full statement of @UNLazzarini :
The decision by the Government of #Sweden to stop funding @UNRWA in 2025 is disappointing and comes at the worst time for Palestine Refugees.
Β
The decision is one day after the members of the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly adopted a resolution in support of UNRWA.
Sweden has been a reliable longstanding partner to UNRWA providing both political and financial support for decades.
Β
This is a sad day for Palestine Refugees and the multilateral system which Sweden has spearheaded.
Β
It comes at a time when UNRWA is under unprecedented politically- driven attacks, including through the use of disinformation. The attacks aim at stripping the Palestinians from their refugee status.
Β
Defunding UNRWA now will undermine decades of Swedenβs investment in human development including by denying access to education for hundreds of thousands of girls and boys across the region.
For the people of #Gaza, this decision will double their suffering endured over the past 14 months since the horrendous Hamas attack on 7 October and the ongoing war.Β
Β
I hope the Government of Sweden will reconsider its decision and pursue its longstanding solidarity by Β investing in both a political solution and the Β human development of Palestine Refugees through UNRWA.

Nan Goldin used the opening of her show at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin to protest against Germany's role in the destruction of Gaza and now Lebanon. Good for her, always independent and following her conscience. Do watch and share

Β£600 a year across 6 sites is a βpeppercorn rentβ: a small amount legally required to create a lease and therefore give rights to tenants. It is usually asked for by the tenant not the landlord, as tenantsβ rights are worth far more than Β£100. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppercorβ¦
