UNRWA: The collapse of the agency will create a dangerous vacuum in the Palestinian territories, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon

The Commissioner-General of UNRWA stressed that "the collapse of the agency will create a dangerous vacuum in the occupied Palestinian territories, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon," noting that "we need additional emergency support so that the agency can continue to operate."

He pointed out that "there are efforts in Israel to silence organizations supporting the Palestinians," explaining that "it refuses to facilitate the entry and exit of individuals through the Kerem Shalom crossing."

He stated that "50,000 children attend our schools, and we provide health services to 100,000 people in the West Bank," stressing that "we need additional emergency support so that the agency can continue to work." He pointed out that "stopping support for UNRWA will deepen the suffering of the Palestinians."
