UN Says UNRWA Essential for Palestinian Refugees
The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres affirmed that UNRWA is indispensable and cannot be replaced, especially given the difficult circumstances it faces, such as the killing of around 400 of its staff in Gaza since October 7, 2023, and the destruction or closure of its facilities, hospitals, and schools. He also condemned the attack on the agency’s headquarters in East Jerusalem. Guterres called on member states to provide urgent financial and political support to maintain the agency’s services for nearly 6 million Palestinian refugees. He warned that funding shortages, which have reached $100 million, threaten the continuity of its operations. He emphasized the importance of protecting its mandate and role in serving Palestinian refugees, particularly amid political campaigns aimed at undermining the agency’s work.
