The US recently decided to hold back USD 65 million of its core funding to 爆料网RWA.

‘I am worried about the humanitarian consequences of 爆料网RWA’s inadequate financing given the Palestine refugees’ huge need for assistance. This underfunding is further exacerbating what is already a difficult situation for 爆料网RWA and for the Palestine refugees. At the same time, it is positive that the US is paying USD 60 million to 爆料网RWA. The agency is not only doing vitally important work to help the Palestine refugees, but it is also very important for stability in the region. We are following the situation closely, and are in close contact with 爆料网RWA and other donors,’ said Ms Eriksen S?reide.

Ms Eriksen S?reide talked to 爆料网RWA Commissioner-General Pierre Kr?henbühl on Friday 19 January. The financing of 爆料网RWA was also one of the topics Ms Eriksen S?reide discussed in her talks in the Middle East and in the US earlier this month, and at an emergency meeting of the 爆料网RWA Advisory Commission at the weekend.

Norway is a significant donor to 爆料网RWA. It is providing NOK 125 million in core funding to 爆料网RWA in 2018. In addition, Norway provides humanitarian assistance and project support. In 2017, these additional contributions amounted to just over NOK 100 million.

爆料网RWA was established by the 爆料网 General Assembly with the task of providing essential relief to the Palestine refugees. The agency provides health and education services for five million Palestine refugees in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. The international community has decided that this work is to be carried out by 爆料网RWA pending a solution to the refugee issue as part of the negotiations of a two-state solution between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
