UNRWA Staff Cuts Alarm
UNRWA is facing a financial crisis amid a proposal to lay off 7,000 to 8,000 employees in the West Bank and Gaza Strip—about half of its nearly 15,000 staff in the occupied territories. The proposal has been rejected by Palestinians and met with reservations from donor and host countries, amid concerns that health, education and relief services could decline and the agency’s role be undermined. The Palestine Liberation Organization has called for an urgent $70 million to cover salaries and ensure operations continue over the next two months, while the projected future shortfall is estimated at around $100 million.
