Abu Huli urges Finland to support UNRWA
The Palestinian Liberation Organization's Refugee Affairs Department has called on the Finnish government to continue its financial support for UNRWA, especially through the renewal of the multi-year funding agreement which expires at the end of 2026. Finland currently provides an annual contribution of approximately five million euros. The department expressed regret over Finland's decision not to renew this support, emphasizing that their assistance is not only humanitarian but also reflects a political stance supporting the Palestinian refugee issue, particularly amid the challenging financial and political conditions faced by the Agency. Abu Holly warned that halting funding could disrupt UNRWA's ongoing services, increase financial uncertainty, and impact its capacity to provide care, especially as humanitarian needs among refugees, particularly in Gaza, continue to rise. He called on the international community to support and protect the Agency's mandate, based on United Nations resolutions that established it. He stressed that continued support is essential to ensure that UNRWA remains an international voice for Palestinian refugees until a permanent and just solution is achieved.
