    Ireland has welcomed the European Commission’s decision to release funding to the UN’s Palestinian aid agency.

    The commission said on Friday that it would proceed with paying 50 million euro (£43 million) of its 82 million (£70 million) euro envelope towards the agency next week and increase emergency support to Palestinians by 68 million euro (£58 million) this year by funding other organisations.

    It had also allocated 125 million euro (£107 million) of humanitarian aid for Palestinians this year and contracted the first 16 million euro (£14 million) of this package on Friday.
