Palestine Liberation Organization asks UNRWA commissioner to resign and rejects plan to lay off staff

Palestine ·

Wasel Abu Youssef, a member of the PLO’s executive committee, rejected layoffs justified by the financial crisis and called for keeping UNRWA’s role in its five areas of operation: Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.

UNRWA is the UN agency that provides services to Palestinian refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, and it relies largely on voluntary donations.
