UNRWA Denies Intent to Assist Refugees Affected by Beirut Explosion

UNRWA denied reports about its intent to start providing medical assistance to refugees affected by the blast that struck Beirut’s seaport on August 4, 2020.

UNRWA said in a statement that reports claiming the Agency will start distributing cash and in-kind items, including food and medicines, are counterfeit.

UNRWA said its updates are only released by its official sources and spokespersons, warning Palestinian refugees against electronic malwares and link viruses.

The Agency pledged to take legal action against parties responsible for propagating rumours and counterfeit pieces of information.

It expressed its solidarity with the Lebanese people and the Palestinian refugees living in the country.

UNRWA is confronted with an increased demand for services resulting from a growth in the number of registered Palestine refugees, the extent of their vulnerability and their deepening poverty. UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions and financial support has been outpaced by the growth in needs. As a result, the UNRWA programme budget, which supports the delivery of core essential services, operates with a large shortfall.
