The director of the UNRWA case at the Palestine Liberation Organization, Kanan al-Jamal, told Al Jazeera:
UNRWA's financial crisis is estimated at more than $70 million, and 90% of its content is fabricated and political to pose an existential threat to the agency.
The continuation of the financial crisis threatens to lay off more than 6,000 workers, leaving thousands of vulnerable families amid the difficult economic conditions in the West Bank and Gaza.
UNRWA's reduction means the closure of large areas of health, education and aid services on which more than 6.5 million Palestinian refugees depend.
- Israel destroyed about 90% of UNRA's capabilities in Gaza, and the residents of the Gaza Strip became completely dependent on its services in order to survive.
- Refugees in Gaza are dying of hunger and lack of medicine and relief, while the destroyed UNRWA schools have become shelters for the displaced.
Israel closed UNRWA schools and health centers in East Jerusalem, including the Shuafat camp and the Qalandiya training center, while implementing Knesset laws.
