Norway urging UNRWA donors to 'reflect on wider consequences' of cutting funding

Norway, a top donor to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), is urging countries that have cut funding to the agency to consider the consequences of their actions on the population in Gaza, its foreign minister told Reuters on Wednesday.

The Nordic country on Sunday said it would maintain its funding to UNRWA following unproven Israeli allegations that some agency staff took part in the 7 October attack by Hamas.
