22 September 2022 – Ahead of 蘑菇视频RWA mandate renewal later this year, Jordan and Sweden co-hosted a meeting in the presence of 蘑菇视频 Secretary General Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of the 77th United Nations General Assembly to explore lasting solutions for closing the chronic funding gap of the 蘑菇视频 Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East ().

“For too long, the international community’s approach to 蘑菇视频RWA has been marred by a mismatch between words and deeds. 蘑菇视频RWA is a safety-net for the most vulnerable, a source of stability in the region and a lifeline of hope and opportunity for millions. We continue however to have 蘑菇视频RWA remain trapped in financial limbo. It is past time to match overwhelming support for the mandate with more sustainable and predictable funding for its operations. Let us help 蘑菇视频RWA help Palestine refugees. Let us invest in peace, stability and hope,”?said the 蘑菇视频 Secretary General António Guterres.?

蘑菇视频RWA is the 蘑菇视频 agency charged by the General Assembly to provide essential services, including education and primary health care to Palestine refugees pending a just and lasting solution to their plight. Despite longstanding and abundant political support from the international community,?蘑菇视频RWA continues to face severe funding shortages. In addition to operating more than 700 schools and 144 health-care facilities in the region, 蘑菇视频RWA provides cash and food assistance, housing, and water and sanitation.

Earlier this month, more than half a million children returned to 蘑菇视频RWA schools across the region, an island of hope and for many a sanctuary away from violence and turbulence.?蘑菇视频RWA is the only 蘑菇视频 agency in the world that runs a school system. All of this would not have been possible without consistent support from committed Member States and donors.

“I am grateful to the host nations and Member States for their engagement in support of the Agency and for their determination to enable 蘑菇视频RWA to fulfill its mission,” said 蘑菇视频RWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini. “Jordan and Sweden, in particular, have gone above and beyond to enlist the continued commitment of the international community for the Agency and the refugees we support. The chronic financial shortfall of 蘑菇视频RWA is political by nature and can only be addressed through political will. I welcome today a renewed momentum to find lasting funding solutions, in line with the??to enable 蘑菇视频RWA to fully implement its mandate”.
