UK Government faces legal challenge over UNRWA funding pause

THE UK Government is facing the threat of legal action over its decision to pause funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency working in Palestine.The International Centre of Justice for Palestinians has now submitted a pre-action letter to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office challenging their ongoing decision to pause the funding.

The ICJP explained that the client’s family are “completely reliant” on UNRWA aid and that they are currently based in the Jabalia refugee camp. Alice Hardy, partner at Bindmans with conduct of the case, said: “The UK government’s strategy for international development sets out four priorities, including to ‘provide life-saving humanitarian assistance and work to prevent the worst forms of human suffering’.

"When the decision to withdraw funds was taken, it was illogical. Now, with Gaza staring famine in the face, it is unconscionable. “While there are those in Israel and in the world who seek to undermine our right to Judea and Samaria and the country in general, we promote settlement through hard work and in a strategic manner all over the country,” he said.
