The United States sent USD 60 million to keep the UN relief agency for Palestinians (UNRWA) in operation but withheld a further USD 65 million while it urges others to pay more, a State Department official said today.

"There is a need to undertake a fundamental re- examination of UNRWA, both in the way it operates and the way it is funded," the official said.
