TaxPayers’ Alliance responds to restoration of UNRWA funding

Responding to the UK restoring funding to the UN Reliefs and Works Agency (UNRWA), Jonathan Eida, researcher of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:

“Taxpayers will be concerned about the decision to restore funding to UNRWA given the alarming allegations made against the organisation.

“For decades this body has attracted enormous controversy over its role in perpetuating the conflict, with little in the way of justification for its costly existence given the presence of the UNHCR which is responsible for all other refugees.

“If ministers want to keep pumping vast amounts of cash into the global quangocracy they need to demonstrate value for money for UK taxpayers, particularly in the case of UNRWA.”
