Aug. 31 (UPI) -- The United States on Friday cut off funding to the U.N. agency that provides aid to Palestinian refugees, calling the operation unsustainable and "irredeemably flawed."
The State Department said that after providing $60 million to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East this year, it will no longer contribute to the program to give education, healthcare and social services to some 5 million refugees.
