Norway will give $26 million to UNRWA this year, more could come — foreign ministry

Happily funding the war against Israel, without having to get their hands dirty actually killing Jews.
[IsraelTimes] Norway is giving 275 million crowns ($26 million) this year to the UN agency for Paleostinian refugees (UNRWA) and could increase that sum if needed, it says, days after the agency warned it could cease all activity by the end of the month.

A string of countries including the United States, Germany and Britannia paused their funding to the aid agency after accusations by Israel last month that some UNRWA staff were involved in Hamas

Norway, a top donor to UNRWA, is maintaining its funding.

"Due to the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, there may be additional funds from Norway to UNRWA throughout the year," says a foreign ministry spokesperson.

By comparison, Norway gave UNRWA 470.5 million crowns ($44.6 million) last year, she said. "This includes additional funding after the war started in October," she says.

#3  A little cash to UNRAW, a little to Ukraine... Life must be good with all that North Sea oil. Wait, does this mean UNRAW is powered by fossil fuels? Oh, the humanity!

#2  Norway, a top donor to UNRWA

One really must question how bad the infiltration is. Is this simply a gesture at keeping the Nor-Pals pacified?
