Guterres warns UNRWA facing crisis
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, called on the international community to cover a funding gap of $100 million for UNRWA, which is on the verge of collapse due to a lack of funding and austerity measures it has taken. The agency, which provides aid and services to Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria, is experiencing a decline in service delivery, with reduced working hours and frozen salaries for staff. This came after the US and Swedish funding were cut amid accusations that some employees were involved in operations linked to Hamas, threatening the stability of services provided to approximately 2.6 million Palestinians.
