29 Jan 2024 - 22:30

Turkiye on Sunday expressed concern over the suspension of aid by some countries to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), reports Anadolu Agency.


“The suspension of funding to UNRWA, following allegations against a few UNRWA staff, will primarily harm the Palestinian people,” it added.
“We expect the countries that have announced suspension of funding to UNRWA to reconsider their decisions,” it concluded.
The US and Canada on Saturday announced the temporary suspension of new funding to UNRWA, following Israel’s accusation that some of the agency’s employees participated in the attack launched by the Hamas movement on 7 October.
The Omani Foreign Minister, Sayyid Badr Albusaidi, and his Cypriot counterpart, Constantinos Kombos, both stressed the need for an immediate ceasefire and the urgent entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
During a meeting in the Omani capital, Muscat, the two ministers reiterated the necessity of launching a serious process to establish a two-state solution in order to achieve a just and comprehensive peace for the Palestinian cause.
Meanwhile, the two ministers affirmed the repercussions of the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, and the horrific humanitarian conditions.
