Australia will resume funding to the United Nations’ main Palestinian relief agency, Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Friday, almost two months after pausing ties over allegations that some of the agency’s employees participated in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel.
Australia had consulted with UNRWA and other donors and was satisfied the aid agency was not a terror organisation, Wong said. New and additional safeguards would protect aid money, and A$6 million ($3.9 million) in paused funding would be released immediately, she said.
“We have children and families that are starving and we have a capacity along with the international community to assist them,” Wong said at a news conference.

Well Penny, if they "Reassured" You that they're not Terrorists, than that settles it, right?
Poor Penny, Wong as usual.

The karma of supporting terrorists is to get more terrorists.
Good luck, Australia!

The “Gazans are starving” lies are working.

It is reported that the aid given to UNWRA in 2022 amounted to over 1.1 billion US dollars. Much of this so-called "humanitarian" aid was repurposed for military uses. All aid to UNWRA should be considered to have been stolen from impoverished people in Africa and the developing world who could put these funds to proper use and have a desperate need for support. There is no legitimate need to so directly support a war against a member state of the UN.

Well, in her defense, the Palestinians are likely starting to run low on ammo.

If they attacked Australia, maybe they’ll get more sympathizers.
