Bad news

#Switzerland #Bern #UNRWA

#Switzerland is paying again to the (#UNRWA United Nations #Palestinian Relief Fund.
Because the @UN #Palestinian aid agency was criticized for #mismanagement,and #Antisemitism #Switzerland stopped paying in #July. Now it has lifted the payment freeze, but #Switzerland has resumed #payments to #UNRWA at around CHF 25 million (€ 23 million).
the Directorate for Development and Cooperation (#Deza) decided on December 12 to end the payment freeze. In view of the measures initiated and the confirmation by the Secretary General of the United Nations that no #donor #money has been misappropriated,
Deza has decided to resume payments. According to the #FDFA, Switzerland is providing CHF 700,000 for ongoing projects and CHF 2 million for #emergency #aid programs in #Syria and the #Palestinian / #Israeli areas.
#Switzerland had already paid the ordinary contribution of CHF 22.3 million for 2019 before the #payment freeze in July. #Switzerland contributed a total of CHF 25 million to the #UNRWA budget in 2019. Despite the #scandal,
the #Antisemitic #aid agency continues to receive support from 169 countries. The @UnitedNations member states extended the #UNRWA mandate last week at the #UNGA by a large majority for a further three years. Only the #UnitedStates and #Israel voted against,
with nine #abstentions.
