UNRWA in urgent cash appeal to help Palestinian refugees

AMMAN, 16 November 2022, (TON): The UN relief agency has warned of a major disruption to services for Palestinian refugees unless it receives an immediate cash injection.

Philippe Lazzarini, commissioner general of the financially troubled UN Relief and Works Agency, said that in the coming weeks, UNRWA urgently needed between $50 million and $80 million to be able to end the year and keep schools, health centers, and other basic services running.

The official was addressing a news conference on the sidelines of the biannual UNRWA Advisory Commission meeting in the Jordanian capital Amman.
