Scores of Palestinian refugees joined a rally held outside of the Beirut headquarters of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) protesting the Agency’s decision to cut aid for Palestinian refugees from Syria (PRS).
Called “A Day of Anger”, the protest move seeks to urge UNRWA to continue to provide vital services for Palestinian refugees and cancel its decision to reduce cash aid for PRS.
The protesters handed over a memorandum to UNRWA, calling on the Agency to resume delivery of much-needed shelter and food grants along with winter assistance, to work out the refugees’ legal status, enhance access to education and healthcare services, and create labor opportunities.
