The recent decision by the United States to slash hundreds of millions of dollars in funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) has raised serious concerns about the welfare of Palestinians in Gaza and the broader region.
Philippe Lazzarini, the chief of UNRWA, expressed grave apprehensions regarding the implications of the funding cut, particularly in Gaza, where the humanitarian situation is already dire.
Lazzarini emphasized that UNRWA plays a crucial role in providing essential services such as food, shelter, primary health care, and education.
Any shortfall in funding to UNRWA, he warned, would severely compromise access to these vital services, exacerbating the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which is already grappling with profound trauma.
