UNRWA Future in Focus
A broad national meeting in Ramallah discussed UNRWA’s future and the financial and operational challenges it faces. Participants warned that laying off thousands of employees and cutting services would harm millions of refugees and threaten their stability. They also drew attention to the consequences of closing Qalqilya Hospital. They rejected the use of a budget deficit—estimated at around $70 million—as justification for undermining jobs and services, and called on the acting Commissioner-General to reverse the layoff plans and adopt alternatives to address the crisis. They urged the United Nations and donor countries to provide sustainable funding, and called for popular, political and diplomatic action to protect the Agency’s mandate, its employees’ rights and the continuity of its services.
