UN chief urges full funding for UNRWA amid protests over service cuts

Palestine ·

According to the UN spokesperson, Guterres reaffirmed his commitment to defending UNRWA and ensuring it can keep supporting Palestinian refugees. Recent protests at the Balata refugee camp in the West Bank opposed cuts to the agency's services.

UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, was established in 1949 to provide education, health and other services to registered refugees in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, and has faced severe funding shortfalls in recent years.
