On funding of the UN, I was lucky enough to be on the fringes of some meetings in America. What came across was a funding crisis. The one issue I took away from my meetings with those people was the number of UN people who were killed this year. In Gaza alone, 263 people were killed. Does the Minister of State think the drop in funding and increase in deaths are related?
