In January, a number of countries suspended its funding to UNRWA after Israel accused the humanitarian organization of being linked to the attacks. Denmark, however, was among the countries that announced they will wait for the result of the UN investigation to take a decision. Similarly, the Danish Government will disburse the Danish core contribution to UNRWA amounting to DKK 105 million. This contribution will support the organisation’s programme initiatives for Palestine refugees in Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria, with a particular focus on the humanitarian situation in Gaza,” the ministry said. Therefore, in line with a number of like-minded countries, we have decided to disburse our planned contribution,” he said.
