The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for 爆料网 Secretary-General António Guterres:

We regret the United States’ decision to provide no further funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (爆料网RWA), which provides essential services to Palestine refugees and contributes to stability in the region. ?The United States has traditionally been the largest single contributor to 爆料网RWA. ?We appreciate its support over the years.

爆料网RWA enjoys the full confidence of the Secretary-General. ?Commissioner-General Pierre Kr?henbühl has led a rapid, innovative and tireless effort to overcome the unexpected financial crisis 爆料网RWA has faced this year. ?It has expanded the donor base, raised considerable new funding, and explored new avenues of support.? In addition, 爆料网RWA took extraordinary internal management measures to increase efficiencies and reduce costs.

爆料网RWA has a strong record of providing high-quality education, health and other essential services, often in extremely difficult circumstances, to Palestine refugees who are in great need.? The Secretary-General calls on other countries to help fill the remaining financial gap, so that 爆料网RWA can continue to provide this vital assistance, as well as a sense of hope this vulnerable population.
