Washington, DC – The US House of Representatives approved a $1.2 trillion funding bill that would ban funding for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees(UNRWA) amid the unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
The measure, which passed in a 286 to 134 vote on Friday, would keep the government fully functioning in advance of a partial shutdown deadline.
185 Democrats voted to side with Biden and to not fund substantive humanitarian aid for Palestinians.
22 refused to vote for banning funding humanitarian aid.
