As of June,
UNRWA has only received $313 million of the
total of $817 million allocated to the program’s budget.
The UNRWA expects a deficit of $100 million by the end of
2022, which is in line with previous years’ deficit.
At a press conference in New York on Friday, UNRWA
Commissioner-General
Philippe Lazzarini said: “if we fail at filling the
financing gap, in the next two months, education for more than half a million
children, and the access to primary health care for nearly two million people,
would be at serious risk, in addition to all cash or food assistance that
target refugees in desperate need. We have entered a dangerous phase.”
