The head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees has called for urgent funding and the renewal of the agency's mandate, emphasizing the need to protect millions of Palestinian refugees until a just solution is found. Speaking ahead of a key vote at the United Nations, the agency's chief highlighted the ongoing financial crisis, with a significant funding shortfall threatening essential services. He also addressed the impact of disinformation campaigns and recent allegations, noting that investigations have not found conclusive evidence to support claims against the agency. Despite challenges, the agency continues to operate in Gaza, where hundreds of staff have been killed and many facilities damaged or destroyed.
