The US is cutting more than half of UNRWA budget – official source

The Trump administration will give the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) $60m in aid for Palestinians, but hold back a further $65m. This was disclosed Tuesday by an official close to the matter on condition of anonymity.

    Oops, sorry Apeass less to fleece from this budget. But still a fine 10% finders fee will leave you plenty of $$ grabbing.

    UNWRA should be cut all funds.
    All the other “refugees” get much less money and are served by the UNHCR
    so UNWRA is obsolete and should be closed.
    Also there no real “refugees” as the “refugees” inherit their status by the parents.

    Kick out the fakestinians and nobody needs a UNWRA.

    I wish it were not so but the headline is wrong. The US contributes only about 30% of UNWRA’s budget. Therefore, the cut in the annual UNWRA budget is only about 15%. That’s serious money, but not “more than 50%”. What the US is cutting is more that half of its own contribution to UNWRA. Many other countries are continuing to pay the usual amount.
