UNRWA withdrew the decision it took yesterday, to stop giving its financial assistance to the Palestinian refugees in Syria, as a result of the pressure exerted by the General Organization for Palestinian Refugees in Damascus.
UNRWA justified the decision to stop cash assistance, which was scheduled today and priced at 28 thousand Syrian pounds per person, as a result of financial deficit it suffers.
The General Organization for Palestinian Refugees in Syria said that it got in touch with the Director General of UNRWA in Syria, and that after extensive discussions and lengthy and varied contacts,the agency agreed to distribute its cash assistance on time.
During its discussion on the seriousness of the cessation of aid to Palestinian refugees, the organization stressed on the importance of distributing its cash assistance on time, noting that the solution to the financial crisis should not by any means, be through stopping its aid and services to the Palestinian refugees.
Nicky Healy, the United States Delegate to the United Nations had previously threatened to stop and cut the financial support provided to the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), each year.
