Hashd confirmed you not sacrifice UNRWA by supporting its budget, which enables it to live up to its goal of “Human dignity is priceless.” This is especially important in light of the catastrophe that is the current suffering of the Palestinian refugees in the occupied territories and the diaspora, which includes the ongoing lack of political stability, and fears of new cuts in UNRWA services, And the previous reports that the World Food Program had stopped providing food aid to low-income families in the Gaza Strip, as well as the suspension of the Qatari grant, would lead to severe food insecurity, a drop in the quality of humanitarian assistance, the spread of extreme poverty, and a rise in unemployment, particularly among young people, which would feed without a shadow of a doubt a spiral of hopelessness and frustration with alarming repercussions.
