Norway cautions against consequences of "cutting UNRWA off"

Tehran, IRNA – Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide has cautioned against the consequences of suspending aid to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA).

“I urge fellow donor countries to reflect on the wider consequences of cutting UNRWA off,” the Norwegian foreign minister wrote on his page on the X Sunday local time.

“We cannot abandon the Palestinian people. This is exactly the wrong time to halt funding for UNRWA. Norway stands fast on our commitments.”

To follow the United States, some European states have suspended or stopped sending help to UNRWA which is one of the important agencies playing a crucial role in dispatching aid to Gaza.

The UNRWA has warned against the suspension of such aid, stating that it may lead to ending its activities by the end of February 2024.
