    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The federal government is resuming funding to UNRWA, the United Nations relief agency for Palestinians, CBC News has learned.

    In addition to going ahead with a scheduled payment in April of $25 million, Canada’s international development minister also intends to announce new funding, according to a senior government official.

    UNRWA moved quickly to fire the 12 staff members on Jan. 26, as soon as Israel made its allegations.

    The government source says Canadian officials have now seen a copy of the interim report by the United Nations examining the allegations.

    CBC News reported last month that Canada had not seen evidence backing up the allegations against the employees before making the decision.

    International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen is scheduled to officially announce the move at a news conference Wednesday morning.
