Abu Hulay urges turning global stances into commitments
The article discusses Ahmed Abu Holi's call, a member of the Executive Committee of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, to translate international support for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) into financial and political commitments to ensure its ongoing operations and protect its mandate. He emphasized that international funding is vital to cover the agency’s deficit, which amounts to approximately 100 million dollars, and noted that the support from donor countries like France and Germany demonstrates their commitment, while also calling for increased contributions. He underlined that the continuation of UNRWA’s role reflects the international community’s responsibility towards the Palestinian refugee issue, and that reducing its services or transferring its responsibilities threaten the lives of millions of refugees and the stability of the camps. Additionally, he warned that any internal reforms within the agency must aim to enhance its effectiveness without compromising its mandate or the rights of refugees. He called for holding the Israeli occupation accountable for its violations and emphasized the need to protect the agency’s facilities and staff to ensure the ongoing delivery of its humanitarian and developmental services.
