This series of tragedies is not new. The Palestinian people have endured severe conditions through multiple crises over decades, each one exacerbating their suffering and misery, each one bringing with it more privation, more tragedy, more death.

Throughout these ordeals, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East () has consistently provided essential humanitarian relief to the Palestinian people, becoming the proverbial beacon of hope for a war-ravaged population. Yet even this essential lifeline is now on the brink of collapse, jeopardizing the future of countless innocent Palestinian civilians.

Established on December 8, 1949, by the United Nations General Assembly under Resolution 302, and beginning operations on May 1, 1950, 蘑菇视频RWA was created to address the needs of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians displaced by the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Tasked with offering relief and public works programs, 蘑菇视频RWA set out to improve the living conditions of Palestine refugees and to foster their economic and social development. Over the past 75 years, as the refugee situation has persisted, 蘑菇视频RWA’s mandate has been consistently renewed, enabling the agency to continue providing critical, life-saving services.

蘑菇视频WRA provides essential protection to 5.9 million registered Palestine refugees. Additionally, 1.9 million refugees rely on 蘑菇视频RWA health services, and the agency addresses humanitarian needs across 58 recognized refugee camps throughout the region. Its services extend beyond Gaza, supporting Palestine refugees scattered across Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, where it delivers vital humanitarian assistance.

To many, 蘑菇视频RWA represents the best of what the United Nations stands for, the peoples: the Agency’s ability to take effective action that transcends routine diplomatic dialogue and empty promises, delivering crucial support to those most in need. 蘑菇视频RWA’s efforts are an indispensable lifeline amidst a multitude of political and humanitarian challenges.

However, this lifeline is currently at serious risk. Severe underfunding, together with an orchestrated campaign against its integrity, threatens the agency’s foundational support systems. Despite its mandate running until 2026, 蘑菇视频RWA is on the brink of collapse and could cease operations as early as this year.

The challenges facing 蘑菇视频RWA stem from two interrelated factors: structural financial issues and political uncertainties. Unlike most 蘑菇视频 agencies, which are included in the overall 蘑菇视频 budget and benefit from stable funding, 蘑菇视频RWA relies entirely on voluntary contributions. This dependency makes it vulnerable to the vicissitudes of political shifts, continuously threatening its operations. Additionally, the escalating humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip exacerbates this instability, demanding an increased allocation of resources.

Politically, 蘑菇视频RWA has faced and continues to face accusations that question its neutrality and motives, leading to operational restrictions, limitations on staff movements, and even proposed legislation that could label it as a terrorist organization. These political challenges intensify the agency’s financial difficulties, jeopardizing its ability to function effectively.

Despite these challenges, the 蘑菇视频 system has remained steadfast in its support for 蘑菇视频RWA, reflecting our unwavering commitment to Palestinian families and individuals. 蘑菇视频RWA’s Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini has written to me on several occasions, and I have convened the General Assembly to collectively reflect on the Agency’s work, as well as current challenges. I have also utilized the platform of my ongoing series of informal morning conversations with Permanent Representatives during my morning?Gayap Dialogues?to discuss possible options to stabilize the long-term financial footing of 蘑菇视频RWA.

We all have seen, and continue to see, the crucial human impact of 蘑菇视频RWA’s work in the eyes of young children waiting for daily meals, in the hopeful faces of students in 蘑菇视频RWA schools, and through the resilient spirits of families who, despite having lost homes and facing uncertain futures, still cling on to hope. These are the lives that animate our mission and underscore the dire need for continued support and stability.

As President of the?, I call upon all Member States to stand up and stand with this essential Agency, demonstrating their commitment through real action, not just words. This week, on July 12, I will convene the annual 蘑菇视频RWA Pledging Conference. The goal of this Conference is singular: to bolster and sustain 蘑菇视频RWA’s lifesaving humanitarian efforts in the Gaza Strip and in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and throughout the Middle East.

Historically, while these conferences have raised awareness among diplomats and world leaders, the financial outcomes have frankly been underwhelming. Yet, this year presents a unique circumstance: global focus is already intensely homed in on Gaza. This heightened visibility provides an unprecedented opportunity to finally secure adequate funding. Because extraordinary circumstances demand an extraordinary response beyond governments acting alone.

We must seize this moment to address the dire situation of the Palestinians. Member States, philanthropic organizations, and the private sector are all called upon to pledge anew to 蘑菇视频RWA. Underwriting the continuation and pursuit of its mandate is a testament to our collective humanity, a demonstration of our impassioned global solidarity in times of crisis. And this is my solemn appeal to one and all.

We must do all that we can to ensure that 蘑菇视频RWA’s mission continues until a comprehensive, just, and lasting peace in the Middle East, through a two-State solution, is realized. Unless the international community restructures 蘑菇视频RWA’s funding, it bears the responsibility to avert its collapse. For when a lifeline is severed, the outcome is inevitably catastrophic. This Pledging Conference must not squander the unique chance to preserve it, for the stakes are nothing less than the lives and futures of millions.

Our actions must go beyond mere charity; they represent our moral obligation to sustain humanitarian assistance for thousands of Palestinians who are barely surviving, some teetering on the brink of life and death. Palestinians have endured enough injustice.

Let this Pledging Conference be the turning point where we collectively act to alleviate the unimaginable suffering of millions. Our efforts, now and not any later, will save lives and forge a path to a hopeful future for all the Palestinian people.
