Abu Holly Urges Action on UNRWA Support
The article focused on Dr. Ahmed Abu Holi's position, head of the Refugee Affairs Department at the Palestinian Liberation Organization, regarding the pledges conference to support the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) held on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings. He commended the international stances that emphasized the necessity of protecting UNRWA's mandate and rejecting its replacement, affirming that the agency's continued operation is linked to a just and comprehensive solution to the refugee issue in accordance with international legitimacy decisions. He also welcomed the new financial contributions from France (15 million euros) and Germany (20 million euros, including 10 million for infrastructure and 10 million for humanitarian operations), calling on donor countries to increase their financial commitments to bridge the estimated $100 million funding gap, which threatens the agency's sustainability. He noted that the financial crisis affects the lives of millions of Palestinian refugees and the stability of refugee camps, warning against reduction of services or transferring responsibilities, and emphasizing that protecting UNRWA is an international responsibility to ensure the continuity of refugees' rights until a final just solution to their issue is achieved.
