Al-Safadi warns against dismantling UNRWA
The Deputy Prime Minister and Jordanian Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, emphasized that dismantling the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) would pose a significant risk to millions of Palestinian refugees, especially in Gaza, where nearly two million Palestinians continue to suffer. He stressed the necessity of protecting the agency's role and preventing any attempts to transfer its responsibilities to host countries, warning that such actions would exacerbate the humanitarian crisis and delay peace efforts. He called on the international community to provide consistent financial and political support to the agency, which is currently facing a $100 million shortfall for 2026, threatening the continuity of its essential services. The meeting was attended by the UN Secretary-General and takes place in the context of increasing pressure on UNRWA and challenges to its funding amid restrictions on its operations in Gaza and the West Bank.
