UNRWA has warned that Palestinian schools and health centers are at risk if it is unable to plug a $185 million funding gap needed to keep operating until the end of the year.
“Currently we have money in the bank … will last I presume somewhere into … mid October” Pierre Krahenbuhl Commissioner-General of UNRWA said in New York on Monday where world leaders attended the annual UN General Assembly.
“But it’s clear that we still need approximately $185 million to be able to ensure that all of our services education system health care relief and social services and our emergency work in Syria and Gaza in particular can continue until the end of the year” Krahenbuhl added.
