Al-Safadi: UNRWA must continue per mandate
The Deputy Prime Minister and Jordanian Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, emphasized that the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is essential and cannot be dispensed with. He underscored the importance of its continued implementation of its missions in accordance with the UN mandate granted by the General Assembly. This statement was made during a press conference in New York after a meeting supporting the agency, where he confirmed that the continuation of UNRWA’s work is vital to address the severe humanitarian situation in Gaza, including food shortages, harsh weather conditions, difficulty accessing medical services, and disrupted education. He highlighted the importance of political and financial support from countries like France, Germany, and Belgium to sustain the agency's role, emphasizing that this mandate is not subject to change outside of UN frameworks. Despite the significant sacrifices made by its staff, with 399 employees killed while performing their duties in Gaza, UNRWA will continue its work.
