The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) announced Wednesday that it will not stop providing relief services in its operating areas.
UNRWA spokesman Sami Mushasha said though UNRWA is enduring a serious financial deficit amounting up to $246 million it will do its best to continue to provide refugees with much-needed services.
He referred to the remarks made by the agency’s Commissioner-General during a conference in Brussels in which he warned of the abject conditions in war-torn Syria particularly in the embattled Yarmouk refugee camp.
Mushasha said the agency received $200 million in aid from Saudi Arabia the UAE and Qatar.
He also revealed projected initiatives by the World Bank and the Islamic Development Bank to support the agency.
