Arab media sources quoted UNRWA’s Media Advisor, Adnan Abu Hassana, that an important conference is to be held on March 15th in Rome, to discuss the Agency's financial crisis after the United States of America’s decision to freeze its contribution.
According to Abu Hassana, "All donors and members of the Advisory Committee have been invited to this important and decisive conference in the Agency’s history. The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, is expected to attend the conference, in which UNRWA’s financial status will be discussed. UNRWA is expected to demand the filling of the deficit it has, during the conference.”
He also mentioned the meeting, which was held last Thursday, between the French President, Emmanuel Macron, and the Commissioner-General of UNRWA, Pierre Krähenbühl, in which the French president expressed his support for UNRWA.
UNRWA’s Media Advisor pointed out that if the deficit continues, it will have serious and catastrophic repercussions on the humanitarian conditions and the services provided to the Palestinian refugees.
