"We may stop working next September if we do not obtain additional resources from member states, and we need $300 million to continue our work until the end of this year," said the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees "UNRWA", Philip Lazzarini, today, Tuesday.
"We are facing a real and serious crisis, and our ability to provide services will come to an end, and the situation is getting worse for Palestinian refugees," Lazzarini said at a press conference in Beirut.
He stressed that the suffering of UNRWA continues in light of the international disregard and the absence of a political solution in the Palestinian territories.
He pointed out that the financial crisis in UNRWA began about ten years ago, when the Palestinian cause lost its priority.
