Office Relations Minister Tony Burke says UNRWA is the “solely company” ready to ship help throughout Gaza the place there’s a “actual humanitarian disaster”.
Mr Burke’s feedback come after Opposition Chief Peter Dutton referred to as on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to sack Ms Wong on her stance that funding to UNRWA could ultimately be restored.
UNRWA has acquired Australian funding yearly since 1951, with one other $6 million having been pledged final month.
Israeli intelligence paperwork alleged that some workers members of UNRWA have been concerned within the Hamas assaults on October 7 – which led Australia and a number of other different nations to droop funding.
“Let me say this with respect to what she stated for that UN company – it’s the solely company that is able to ship help throughout an space in Palestine the place in the meanwhile we’re seeing a extremely severe humanitarian disaster,” Mr Burke informed Sky Information Australia.
