UNRWA in Syria said it will be delaying aid delivery to Palestinian refugees until early August.
Sources close from UNRWA said the Agency has not received funds pledged by donor countries.
According to an agreement between the UNRWA Commissioner-General and the head of the General Authority for Palestinian Arab Refugees, the cash grant will cover three months.
The most vulnerable refugees will be receiving 117,500 Syrian pounds. The other registered refugees will be receiving 85,000 pounds.
Palestinian refugees in Syria have called on UNRWA to increase humanitarian aid and cash grants and to deliver them to the concerned refugees every month rather than every four months.
UNRWA provides assistance to over 438,000 registered Palestinian refugees in Syria. Some 13,500 others remain in hard-to-reach or inaccessible zones in northern Syria.
The assistance includes cash and in-kind items. Throughout the conflict, the most vulnerable Palestine refugees in/from Syria have been struggling for survival.
UNRWA data indicates that over half of the Palestine refugees in the country have been displaced at least once because of the brutal conflict that ensued, including 200,000 who have sought safety in neighbouring countries, mainly Lebanon and Jordan, and beyond.
Over 80% of PRS live in extreme poverty and rely on humanitarian assistance as their main source of income. 86% of PRS households are reported to be in debt.
