The article doesn't mention that the US funds 30% of UNRWA's budget, approximately $71.4 million a year, followed by the UK. Saudi Arabia contributes .6%.

A couple days ago, Brit Hume interviewed *somebody* (foo, I can't remember who) who broke down the figures, and also said that this program on the ground was run by the Palestinians with very little oversight from either the UN or the countries giving the money.

I saw the same segment. The answer to the question posed in the title of this article is, No! Did you see the clip on Brit's show last night where the Palestinian "corpse" being carried on the stretcher was dropped and the "corpse" got up and laided back down on the stretcher and they wrapped him back up in the flag and went on their mornful way?
