Warning about the end of “UNRWA” budget

According to the international group Tasnim News Agency, “Philip Lazzarini” the Commissioner General of the United Nations Agency for Relief and Employment for Palestinian Displaced Persons (UNRWA) in a speech referring to the terrible situation that the people of Gaza are experiencing under the shadow of the aggression of the Zionist regime and the all-round siege against this region, announced that the budget of this agency to carry out its activities only until May, i.e. less than Two more months will be the answer and after that UNRWA’s budget will run out.

Philip Lazzarini added that this situation shows how bad UNRWA’s situation is. The agency serves about 5.9 million Palestinian refugees, and about two-thirds of these refugees live in 58 known camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip, and the number of students enrolled in UNRWA schools in 2022 will reach 544,710 people had arrived.

He emphasized that Israel’s decision to prevent UNRWA convoys from entering northern Gaza means preventing the survival of people who are at risk of death.

“Jens Lairke”, the spokesman of the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the United Nations, also stated that the situation of the people of Gaza is catastrophic and said that Israel should withdraw from its decision to prevent UNRWA aid from reaching northern Gaza. /p>

This official of the organization The United Nations emphasized that the people of Gaza are facing a cruel death risk due to hunger, and Israel cannot claim to adhere to international laws when it blocks the entry of UNRWA aid.

According to Tasnim, while UNRWA organization (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees) Since the beginning of the Gaza war, like other international organizations, it has not been able to provide an acceptable performance in helping the people of Gaza in the shadow of the brutal aggression of the Zionist regime and the heavy siege against this area, two months ago. The Zionists claimed that a number of UNRWA employees participated in the Palestinian resistance operation under the name of “Al-Aqsa Storm” on October 7, 2023.

In a situation where there is no evidence or witness to confirm this claim, countries such as The United States, England, Italy and several other countries that support the crimes of the Zionist occupation in Gaza announced in a joint statement that they will stop their annual aid to UNRWA. America, Canada, Australia, Italy, England, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Japan and Switzerland are the countries that have stopped their financial aid to UNRWA due to the mentioned false accusation.

It is clear that this action cannot be taken. The United States and the West, which deprives UNRWA of more than 80 percent of its funding, have separated it from the devastating war waged against the largest Palestinian refugee camp, the Gaza Strip. In the sense that the decision of the mentioned countries is in the framework of strengthening Israel’s war measures and intensifying the blockade against the Palestinians; Because the aid brought to Gaza during this devastating war is distributed by UNRWA.
