Works Agency: Nations Relief and Decades-Long History

works agency: The fact that some members of Parliament would behave so outrageously is a testament to the prejudice and misinformation that swirls around the United Nations Relief and Works Agency UNRWA -- the UN agency administering Palestinian refugee aid, according to Huffington Post Canada. Canada actually has a decades-long history of supporting UNRWA -- a history that was only recently interrupted by the Harper government. Yet this is exactly what happened when Minister of International Development Marie-Claude Bibeau, announced the restoration of Canadian humanitarian aid for Palestinian refugees. So the Trudeau government resumption of funding is a reconnection with Canada former humanitarian tradition. UNRWA was founded in 1949 to provide aid to Palestinian refugees who were expelled or fled their homes following the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. It also puts Canada in very good company every other G7 nation also donates yearly to UNRWA. Anyone who thinks Palestinians refugees enjoy their status is grossly mistaken.
