Publish a collection of dragon cards to share millions of cash
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East has warned that it will face funding constraints next month. If some countries were unable to resume funding, the Agency's financial problems would accelerate in April.
Philippe Lazzarini, head of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), told Ireland's national broadcaster RTE on Thursday (15 February) that "we will have negative cash flow starting in March and will accelerate in April unless frozen contributions can be unfrozen." ”
Negative cash flow is when an organization or business has more outflows than inflows, affecting its ability to sustain itself. UNRWA has been accused of alleged involvement of several employees in the attack on Israel by the Palestinian militant group Hamas on October 7 last year, and some donor countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, have suspended donations to UNRWA.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said on Wednesday (14th) that it is unacceptable for UNRWA employees to be suspected of being involved in Hamas attacks, and the UK hopes that UNRWA will give absolute guarantees that it will not hire staff who are willing to attack Israel. This is a condition for the UK to consider resuming capital injections.
In addition, in response to calls for the dissolution of UNRWA, Zalarini stated earlier this week that it was short-sighted and that terminating the agency's mandate would deepen the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
UNRWA has been carrying out humanitarian work in the Gaza Strip for decades, and today almost all Gaza's residents rely on the agency for basic necessities such as food, water and sanitation.
