Closed petition Urge USA not to cease funding UNWRA and contribute towards any shortfall
Closed on
The US decision further destabilises the Middle East and make the possibility of a peaceful solution more remote. It shows further partiality in favour of Israel following moving its embassy to Jerusalem and increasing aid to Israel
UK should urge other countries to help making up the shortfall
UNWRA provides food aid and education to Palestinian refugees and this loss of funding will cause immense suffering and misery.
