Amman, Jordan – Jordan has urged the international community to provide urgent financial support to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), which provides vital services to Palestinian refugees.
The call was made by Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi during his meeting with UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini in Amman on Tuesday.
They discussed efforts to bridge the financial deficit and ensure that the agency can continue to provide education, health services, and relief aid to Palestinian refugees in accordance with its UN mandate.
Safadi emphasized the importance of supporting the agency to provide a decent life for refugees, which, according to him, is “an investment in security and stability”.
The UNRWA’s role is crucial until a comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue based on the two-state solution is reached, which guarantees the right to return and compensation in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions.
