Thorgerour Katrin Gunnarsdottir, the Icelandic foreign minister, says her country will disburse its contribution to the UN agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) ahead of schedule, “in light of the extreme humanitarian need”, Al Jazeera reports.
In a post on X, Gunnarsdottir said Iceland values the work that UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini and his staff are doing “under very challenging circumstances”. In a separate post, Gunnarsdottir reiterated her call for a ceasefire in Gaza and said “access to humanitarian aid must be improved”.
