UNRWA future under debate
A broad national meeting in Ramallah discussed UNRWA’s future and the political, financial and operational challenges it faces. Participants warned that laying off thousands of employees and cutting services threaten refugees’ lives and stability, and called on Acting Commissioner-General Christian Saunders to reverse these measures. They rejected using the approximately $70 million deficit to justify job and service cuts, and issued a particular warning against closing Qalqilya Hospital or reducing its services. They called on the international community to provide sustainable funding, and urged the organization of popular mobilizations and a political and diplomatic campaign to protect the agency’s mandate and its employees’ rights.
