UNRWA re-called the international community for finance for the Palestinian Syrian refugees; UNRWA said on its website that, its capacity to continue is under threat, as the emergency appeal of Syrian crisis 2016 is still suffering from a severe lack of funding, noting that only 30% of the needed finance were collected.
UNRWA assured that the situation is still very difficult for the Palestinian refugee and Syrian as well, and the armed violence still affects a wider area of Syria where people live in dire conditions, while the effects of the conflict could be seen even in the parts that were not directly affected by the armed violence.
In addition, violence has led to a collective displacement of almost 60% of the Palestinian community, while economic has deteriorated sharply which led to rampant inflation and high rate of unemployment estimated with about 57%. More than 70% of UNRWA schools were destroyed or partially damaged.
UNRWA mentioned that it gives humanitarian aid such as food and non-food, cash money, communal homes, and providing essential services such as educating about 45000 students, and health care through 26 health centers and points, and many services including physical rehabilitation and literacy courses for adults and psychosocial support.
At the end of its appeal, UNRWA stressed that the international community should fulfill its obligations towards the Palestinian refugees, particularly those who are in Syria, it should be given the support to do so.
It is noteworthy that UMRWA is UN agency for human development works to provide support and protection to the Palestinian refugees registered with it in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip, until a solution to be found for their plight, and UNRWA is funded almost entirely by voluntary contributions from the members of the UN.
