My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday, others from the crossbench and I were briefed by the director of UNRWA in Gaza on the dire humanitarian situation there. He confirmed that, unless funds previously committed by countries like Australia were reinstated as a matter of urgency, UNRWA's entire humanitarian operation in Gaza would collapse by the end of March. This will be devastating for the region, ending medical and emergency accommodation services in Gaza as well as schooling for thousands of refugee children. Prime Minister, when will the government reinstate the additional $6 million for UNRWA?
