UNRWA: Providing the necessary resources to continue providing aid in Gaza

The Zionist regime is trying to disrupt the support of the Western countries to the agency for providing relief and employment for Palestinian refugees known as UNRWA by making baseless accusations. The United States and Germany, two of UNRWA’s biggest sponsors and close partners of Israel, have cut aid to the agency due to their alignment with Tel Aviv, which could weaken UNRWA in the long term.

According to the Reuters news agency, Philippe Lazzarini, director general of UNRWA, announced today (Tuesday) that despite the cutoff of international aid, this organization now has enough resources to carry out relief operations in Gaza until the end of May (early June). has it.

He told reporters in this regard: The only thing I can tell you today is that we can continue our relief operations in Gaza until the end of May. This is despite the fact that a month ago, my estimate was that we could continue providing aid to the war-stricken people in this area for only one to two weeks.

Lazzarini added: This issue clearly shows the bad financial situation UNRWA is in now. We depend on international aid to continue providing aid to civilians.

The supply of resources needed by UNRWA comes after some western countries such as Canada, Sweden, Finland, and Australia, which initially cut off financial aid to UNRWA, have once again provided aid to this agency in recent weeks. resumed

Lazzarini said: I hope that more western countries will resume donating their financial aid to UNRWA. Israel’s new decision to prevent food aid from entering northern Gaza by UNRWA was made with the aim of preventing people from being saved from starvation.

Since the Zionist regime has accused 12 out of 13,000 UNRWA employees of collaborating in the October 7th attack, Western countries, including the United States, have stopped donating their financial aid to this organization.
