Ahmed Abu Holly, conclusively, the UNRWA administration’s decision to end the work system for a distance for its employees who had to leave the Gaza Strip to Egypt as a result of the recent Israeli war, and gave them an exceptional compulsory leave without salary, under the justifications of lack of funding.
considered Dr. Abu Holly, UNRWA’s decision in a letter to its Commissioner -General Philip Lazarini, is a dangerous precedent, and an unjustified procedure, and is not in line with the human values upon which UNRWA was based, which requires not to prejudice the rights of refugee employees, ensure their right to job safety, and not to infringe on it, Especially since it will cause 526 employees their salaries and their main source of income.
and d. Abohouli, the UNRWA administration and its Commissioner -General Philip Lazarini, to cancel the decision immediately, and move forward to take the necessary measures to facilitate the return of employees to the Gaza Strip to engage with their colleagues in the service of Palestinian refugees, and take measures that guarantee their access to their humanitarian and professional rights, in line with the exceptional circumstances they are going through.

The stop and salary of employees residing in Egypt will not address the financing gap, but rather will have a significant impact on the process of mobilizing resources, which will encourage donors to continue to pressure UNRWA to take management measures that address the problem of lack of financing, instead of increasing their financing or providing additional financing & quot; < /P>

Occupied and Gaza Strip, the Refugee Affairs Department of the Palestine Liberation Organization has worked throughout the year at all political, diplomatic and media levels to confront these challenges, protect UNRWA in its five areas of operations, and to preserve its services, which are the workers in which the axis and the main nerve are considered.
