In 2003 the United States designated Interpal a terrorist organisation, which has meant its banking facilities have been severely restricted. Since 2008, Interpal has not had regular banking facilities, including credit card donations and a direct debit service. For a group whose outgoings were over £5m in 2012, this is a huge problem. Many observers have said it is a miracle the charity is still running. Last autumn 38 MPs signed an Early Day Motion recognising Interpals humanitarian work in Palestine. It called on the Government to press the US administration to rescind its damaging designation of Interpal.
