UNRWA announced in a statement it published on the 9th of May, that it will resume the coverage of natural births as of May 1, 2018, after receiving a new donation.
UNRWA denied what was published on social media about its suspension of nose and throat operations coverage, confirming that it will continue to cover these operations in accordance with its hospital policies.
UNRWA had announced that it forcibly had to stop the conversion of "pregnancies unaccompanied by pregnancy risk," by the end of March 2018. UNRWA also added that it would have to end the special hardship fund program, which was supposed to provide support to the Palestinian refugees registered in the Social Security Network Program, and the displaced Palestinian refugees from Syria to 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 efforts it made with a large number of donors to find enough funds to guarantee the continuity of these services after March 2018, it did not bear fruit in urging countries to contribute and cover these services, to guarantee their continuity.
At the end of its statement, UNRWA stressed that it is committed to supporting Palestinian refugees and will continue its efforts to raise funding, and urged all donors to increase their contributions to their benefit.
