UN Palestine Refugee Agency Rejects US Criticism - Spokesman

UNITED NATIONS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 01st September, 2018) A spokesman for the UN's Palestinian refugee agency on Saturday rejected US claims that the charity was "irredeemably flawed" after the United States cut funding for its aid programs.

"UNRWA expresses deep regret and disappointment at the US' announcement that it will no longer provide funding to the Agency after decades of staunch political and financial support," Chris Gunness said.

"We reject in the strongest possible terms the criticism that UNRWA's schools, health centers, and emergency assistance programs are 'irredeemably flawed'," he continued in his tweeted statement.
