January 22, 2018

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees is formally launching an international funding campaign on Monday after the US cut in aid to the agency.

The campaign named ‘Dignity is Priceless’ aims to attract new donors to the agency.

In a statement, the agency said it can face serious difficulties in upholding its mandate and preserving key services like education and health care for Palestine refugees after the US cut in aid for the current year.

The statement said millions of Palestine refugees face a devastating humanitarian crisis, urging people to support the campaign.
