UNRWA Advisory Commission Discusses its Financial Crisis

Dead Sea – Mohammed al-Daameh

UNRWA’s advisory commission held a meeting in the Dead Sea region in Jordan on Monday to discuss its ongoing financial crisis after it recorded a deficit of USD446 million.

UNRWA Commissioner-General Pierre Krähenbühl described to Asharq Al-Awsat the meeting as significant given its financial crisis that was sparked by the United States’ decision to cut aid to the agency, which left it with the current deficit.
