PRIME MINISTER Rishi Sunak has been accused of a “negation of duty” for failing to reinstate funding to a United Nations agency supplying aid to Gaza.

Sixteen donor states, including Britain, stopped their funding for United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) earlier this year following allegations by Israel that the agency’s employees were involved in the October 7 attack.

But an independent report into the allegations and the UN agency, led by former French foreign minister Catherine Colonna, said Israel had not provided evidence for the claims.
