I said yesterday, in answer to a question from Senator Faruqi, that I think there are two irrefutable facts in relation to UNRWA. One is that it is necessary in order to deliver humanitarian support in the occupied Palestinian territories, in particular in Gaza at this time—absolutely, which is why we increased the funding. The second irrefutable fact is that serious allegations have been made. I spoke yesterday with the chief of UNRWA about what measures can be taken to resolve this issue, because we are being constructive. (Time expired)
