UN Palestinian agency only has enough funds to last until May
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) only has enough funds to keep schools and medical services open until May, its commissioner-general Pierre Krahenbuhl tells AFP.
Krahenbuhl labels it the agency’s worst ever financial crisis and launched a major funding drive, turning the front page of its website into a plea for donations.
Tomorrow, global powers will gather in Rome to discuss the future of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, which faces an unprecedented crisis after the US froze tens of millions of dollars in funding.
