Norway: Restore UNWRA Funding

Barth Eide, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Norway said:
"there had beeb suggestions ewarly on by some donors to replace UNWRA with another humanitarian organization, but that idea was now "off the table."
"They were told by the rest of the international humanitarian community, UN agencies and NGOs that there is no way to do that in time, he said.

Canada is one of those donors.

UNRWA donors likely to resume funding soon, Norway says

Israel doesn’t like UNWRA. Of course it doesn’t. UNWRA was created to help the Palestinian Refugees that resulted from the League of Nations decision to partition the land of Palestine to create space for a Jewish homeland where none existed.

When the International Court of Justice cited UNWRA testimony when issuing its Provisional Orders to Israel (South Africa vs Israel), Israel fought back by making spurious unfounded accusations against UNWRA that *still* remain unverified.

As Mr Eide indicates, UNWRA is *the* crucial humanitarian aid provider (and facilitator) in Gaza. Even if it were possible for another Humanitarian Aid Organization to take over, Canada was one of those donors. would try to smear it too.

I hope anyone who hasn’t will sign & share Petition e-4802 as widely as possible.


As I write this, at 9,419 signatures it needs only 581 signatures to reach 10,000!!! This is so important because the more signatures e-Petition 4802 receives, the more seriously the Government of Canada will take it, so please keep signing and sharing! 

Thank you for your support!


Many thanks to everyone who signs and shares, helping to keep this terrible thing in the public eye.
