US government asked to restore UNRWA funding

Tehran, IRNA- Top US Senator, Bernie Sanders, in a statement, has asked the Biden administration to restore the funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees, also known as UNRWA.

"It is obvious that it is not acceptable for any of the 13,000 UNRWA employees in Gaza to cooperate with Hamas, and only the 12 people who have been accused, should be investigated”, Sanders was quoted by Al Jazeera on Tuesday night.

In the continuation of his statement, the senator also underlined that one million and one hundred thousand people in Gaza are at risk of starvation, and the US and other countries should never let them suffer because of the alleged actions of the few.

Sanders is critical to the US government’s policy toward the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on Gaza. “In no way should we ignore the terrible humanitarian crisis that is currently going on in the Gaza Strip”, the senator said in his earlier post, referring to the Israeli regime’s relentless bombing and shelling that have claimed nearly 27,000 Palestinian lives, mostly women and children since October 7.

Outspoken American Senator, Sanders had previously released several statements against the prime minister of the Zionist regime, once calling Benjamin Netanyahu a 'reactionary racist' .
