UNRWA issued a statement in response to a video released a few days earlier in which a staff worker at Liban Post ordered a sick refugee to arrive by ambulance to get his cash aid.
Director of LibanPost in Sidon gave orders for allowing Palestinian refugee Anas Khalil to enter the office by ambulance to get his cash grant, sparking anger among the refugees.
UNRWA apologized to the patient but said it opted for a unified distribution mechanism to prevent fraud. Beneficiaries should show up at distribution offices and present their identity documents to get their cash grants.
The Agency said sick refugees and people with disabilities can assign another person to receive the allowance on their behalf after informing UNRWA offices.
