UNRWA announced in a statement it published on the 29th of March, that it will have to be forced to stop converting births, "Pregnancies that are not accompanied with pregnancy risks".
UNRWA added that it would discontinue servicing the special hardship fund program, which was supposed to secure support for Palestinian refugees registered in the Social Security Network program and the Palestinian refugees from Syria and registered in Lebanon, by covering the cost of patients with second-level hospitalization in government and private hospitals.
UNRWA noted in its statement, that despite its intensive and persistent efforts with a large number of donors, to find sufficient funds to guarantee the continuation of its services after March 2018, however it did not succeed in encouraging the countries to donate and cover these services, in order to continue.
To conclude its statement, UNRWA confirmed that it will committed to support the Palestinian refugees and will continue its efforts to gather funds and encourage all the donors to increase their contributions for their benefit.
The latest decision issued by the American Administration, which ordered the freezing of $125 million of its contribution to UNRWA’s budget, posed a flagrant threat on all the services offered by UNRWA to the Palestinian refugees in the diaspora countries, especially the Palestinian-Syrians.
