UN WORKERS PROTEST AGAINST US.

GAZA CITY'S FUNDING FREEZE.

THOUSANDS of employees at the United Nations Agency for Palestinian refugees protested on Monday in Gaza against-

*US President Donald Trump's suspension of millions of dollars in aid*.

The United States suspended $65 million to the United Nations Relief Work Agency [UNRWA]  earlier this month, as well as a separate $45 million in Food Aid.

THOUSANDS of teachers, medical professionals and other staff gathered in Gaza City to protest the cuts that UNRWA officials have warned could threaten the *education of more than half a million children*.

The Agency provides support for more than three million Palestinian across the Middle East.

''By turning out in such huge numbers and peacefully you are giving a powerful message to the world,'' Matthias Schmale, UNRWA's director in Gaza, told the crowd.

Addressing the United States, he warned Trump of politicizing the humanitarian aid, for millions of impoverished people.
