Canada will restore funding to UNRWA, the embattled UN agency in Gaza

Canada will restore funding to the United Nations relief agency for Palestinians, weeks after the agency, known as UNRWA, lost hundreds of millions of dollars in support following Israeli allegations against some of its staffers in Gaza.
Canada was one of 16 countries that temporarily halted future payments.
Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development, said Canada has been reassured after receiving an interim report from the United Nations investigation of Israel’s allegations.
The Canadian government was set to announce the decision on Wednesday but delayed it until Friday, for reasons that were not immediately clear.
